At Ranthambhore, along with tigers see the spectacular 1000-year-old fort and the scattered ruins of mosques, temples and palaces. In its lakes, which serve as vital sources of water, you see Sambar and Marsh Crocodiles basking on the banks. We may also come across the Sloth Bear, Blackbuck, handsome Caracal, Chinkara, in nearby villages. Bandhavgarh, famous the world over for its high tiger density, also offers other species like Jungle Cat, Muntjac and the only four-horned antelope in the world, the Chausingha. You can also view large number of bird species. The rocky crags below Bandhavgarh fort may reveal Leopard and birds like Malabar Pied Hornbill and Peregrine Falcon. In the rich meadows of Kanha, you can see the last remaining population of the Hard-ground Barasinga, the Dhole (Indian wild dog) and Gaur (Indian Bison), which prefer the dense Sal forest.
