The tigers in Pench are seen frequently along the Pench river as they get a concentration of the prey here. They can be seen near the Safari Lodge as well. Leopard movements are in the periphery but sighting does take place in the core zone or the deep forest. Jungle cats are common while Leopard cat, small Indian civet and palm civet are rarely seen as they are nocturnal. The Pench National Park is one of the places in India where Four Horned Antelope can be seen. Four-horned Antelope stand just over half a metre tall at the shoulder and weigh around 20 kilograms. Four-horned Antelope have a yellow-brown coat with the underside and insides of the legs being white. Its legs are thin and have a black stripe running down the forelegs.
Herds of gaur (Indian bison) can be spotted near streams and bamboo patches commonly in summer months in the park. |
