Kaziranga Wildlife

Wildlife of Kaziranga National Park is marked by dry deciduous forests, rocky landscapes and tall thickets. Kaziranga jungle is home to largest number of swamp deer in eastern India. The great Indian one- horned Rhinoceros, the Asiatic Wild Buffalo, the Asiatic Elephant and the Royal Bengal Tiger are said to be based here. Tiger spotting can be a hell of a task here due to the tall grass which provides an excellent camouflage to them, though the pug marks, kills and territorial markings make their presence felt everywhere.
