As we have said, Kanha was one of the original nine designated tiger reserves because of its rich population of tigers and being one of the prime habitats for them. The park also has distinguished itself in saving the highly endangered ground Barasingha from extinction; for close to five decades it had the last worldwide population of this deer species. In recent years the barasingha (swamp deer) has been introduced in several other national parks.
The park is also home to many other species including deer (chital or spotted deer, barasingha, sambar and blackbuck), wild boar, sloth bears, langur monkeys, leopards, gaur, wild dogs and a wide variety of bird life. We were fortunate to see most of these including a few tigers. Some images follow.
