KAZIRANGA NATIONAL PARK
Kaziranga's forests are known

for
their great bio-diversity, comprising as they do mixed savannah grassland together
with evergreen, moist deciduous and swamp forest. Kaziranga's sprawling valley
of 430 sq. kms is contiguous with the Mikir hills to the south and the mighty
Brahmaputra river to its north.
This park is one of the last strong holds of the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros.
Seeked for its horn believed to have aphrodisiac and medicinal properties by
the Chinese, this animal is well protected by the park management from the poachers
in Kaziranga. Also seen in big herds are the Indian Elephants migrating between
Kaziranga, the Darang district and the southern Mikir hills. Kaziranga also
sustains a large numbers of herbivores. One species is the Asiatic Wild Buffalo,
a highly temperamental and aggressive animal often charging unprovoked. Many
species of deer's like Hog Deer, Sambar, the highly endangered Soft Ground barasingha,
can be sighted and if lucky than the elusive Mouse Deer. Park also has Tigers
and reasonable population of

Leopards
along with Jungle, Leopard and Fishing cat. Other animals to be seen in the
park are Wild Boar, Sloth Bear, Himalayan Civet, Porcupines, Pangolins, the
Common Indian Hare, Common Indian Mangoose and the Jackal. One of the most prized
animal of Kaziranga is the Hoolock Gibbon, an ape inhabiting the hilly evergreen
forests, not easy to spot. Another endangered species occasionally sighted is
the Gangetic Dolphin.
Kaziranga also protects as many as 325 avian species. Some not usually found
in other parks. The resident birds are Bengal Floricans and the Adjutant Stork,
while other prominent species are the Fishing and Crested Eagle, Sultan Tit,
