Tiger being apex predator , at top of food chain of this unique habitat is undoubtably serving as an umbrella species and playing a significant role in the conservation of Kanha National Park<\/strong><\/a> which is well evident by the increasing population of this mega-predator.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While aspiring to taste a cherry one often ignore how the cake was. There are various other species belonging from different genre which are endemic and pride of Kanha. One such species is Barasingha<\/a> (Hard-ground swamp deer), mascot of kanha and also the state animal of Madhya Pradesh).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This species of deer is among 4 other species of deer family namely Sambar , spotted, barking (mutjac) and mouse deer constituting the prey composition for Tiger and other large co-predators like common leopard<\/a>, wild dog, golden jackal<\/a>, Indian grey wolf .<\/p>\n

The tiger sighting can be unique experience to anyone when all the prey species around the moving tiger start communicating between themselves which is often referred by the term Alarm-call by us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The alarm calls varied by species (langur, spotted ,sambar and swamp deers) and are very unique which brings more excitement to the climax of Tiger sighting at Kanha National Park<\/a>.<\/strong> The indirect evidences like scat (fecal dropping), scrape( removed soil by paws), scratch (claw markings on trees) are helps us to track predators along with alarm calls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One should never be ignoring the serenity, peace and music of forest( bird call, alarm calls, movement sounds etc.) which enables us to understand the forest better, hence a visitor must remain attentive, patient and observant to understand it in a better way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apart from charismatic species mentioned above there is always a lot more in this habitat which can describes as blessing in disguise, like species of birds, pollinators like butterflies and bees , reptiles, beautifully structured termite mounds- epitome of an natural architect, and close to thousand species of flora (sal dominated) which give the habitat a lush green to brownish- yellow appearance varying greatly in different seasons.<\/p>\n
