Wildlife Attraction

Tiger

The tiger reigns supreme in Ranthambore. Ranthambore is among the few places in the world where this super-predator, symbol of power, strength and magnificence, can be observed at close quarters. There are about 25 tigers and 40 leopards in the reserve. These are supported by a large population of healthy herbivores. On can never have enough of tigers. One may have seen a tiger a hundred times, yet each sighting is greeted with the same high-pitched intensity.

Tigers can be spotted quite often in their natural habitat even during daytime. They have been frequently seen at the edges of three lakes—Padam Talab, Raj Bagh Talab and Milak Talab. The park also has panthers in sizable numbers, though they have been spotted generally at the outskirts of the park perhaps due to the inevitable conflict with the tiger population, which command the ‘superior' position amidst the predatory cats. For spotting panthers, Kachida Valley is regarded as the ideal place.
