Desert National Sanctuary, India
|
The Desert National Park
is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the Thar
desert and its diverse fauna. Sand dunes form around
20% of the Park. The major landform consists of craggy
rocks and compact salt lake bottoms, intermedial areas
and fixed dunes which are quite suitable for the chinkara
to move at high speed.
The blackbuck is another common antelope of this region.
Its other notable inhabitants are the desert fox, Bengal
fox, wolf and desert cat. |

Sudashri forest post is the ideal place for observing
the wildlife of Desert National Park and is the
most suitable in the entire 3162 sq. kms. of this
park for watching and photographing the activities
of the animals from behind cover.
Birdlife in this sandy habitat is vivid and spectacular.
Birds such as the sandgrouse,partridges,
bee-eaters, larks and shrikes
are commonly seen. Demoiselle crane and houbara
arrive in the winter. The birds of prey seen here
are tawny and steppe eagles, long legged and honey
buzzards, falcons and kestrels. But the most outstanding
of the avifauna is the great Indian bustard. This
tall, heavy bird is an epitome of confidence and
grace. It is good to see five or six bustards near
Sudashri water hole. |
