This park is one of the jewels of India's conservation effort, and has one of the highest densities of predators - tigers, leopards, wild dog and sloth bears in the country, as well as their prey species of deer, wild boar etc. The predators are very difficult to sight because of thick, tropical forests. It is, however, prime viewing habitat for wild elephants and gaur (the largest bovines in the world), of which there is no dearth in the park - it supports an estimated 2000 elephants and 3000 gaur. This time around, I photographed mainly elephant, and surprisingly the langur, a monkey, as well as a few deer and birds. As you can see, it is a well managed park, with quite a few handsome tuskers - these are the poacher's primary target for the ivory - so the preponderance of tuskers suggests a well policed area. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand_001/Nagrhole/ Criticism, comments etc, as usual are welcome.
