Desert
National Park
The
Desert National Park is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the Thar
Desert and its rich fauna. The Sudashri forest post is the most ideal place
for observing wildlife in the Desert National Park. Sand dunes form less than
20 percent of the Park, which consists of craggy rocks, pavements and compact
salt lake bottoms, intermedial areas and fixed dunes.
Its inhabitants include the blackbuck, chinkara, wolf, Indian fox, desert
fox, hare and desert cat. Flights of sandfrouse start coming to waterholes
from sunrise onwards. One also hear the morning call of the grey partridge.
Blue tailed and green bee-eaters, drongos, common and bush quail and Indian
rollers are birds, which are commonly found around waterholes. the park is
also home to the great Indian Bustard which is peril of extinction..
