Tiger,
at the apex of the food chain, lord of the kingdom in a subtle way. Solitary by
nature, it operates in the stealth. Therefore tiger sightings, frequent as they
are, are always a matter of chance. However even evidences of tiger's activities
are very exciting.
Other kinds of cats found in Ranthambore are Leopard,
Caracal, Leopard cat, Fishing cat and Jungle cat. The other large predators include
Sloth Bear, Striped Hyena, Jackal, Desert fox, Palm civet, common mongoose, crocodile,
python etc.
There
are two species of antlers the spotted deer (chital), and Sambhar deer and two
kinds of antelopes namely the Indian Gazelle (chinkara ) and the Bluebull ( Nilgai
).
Besides tiger, there are many other animals to observe, understand
and enjoy. Elegant and graceful spotted deer, huge sambhar, crocodiles basking
around the lakes, vultures soaring in the sky, Serpent eagles scanning the ground
from its perch or the kaleidoscope of waterfowl at the pools are all the interest
for a visitor with sensitivity. Ranthmbhore is a great experience in totality
and the Tiger Den Resort will enhance your experience by making it cool and comfortable.
