Bandhavgarh Mammals

There are three species of deer in Bandhavgarh.

The spotted deer were the most common. The males still had velvet on their antlers.
Sambar are very large deer. The males have a rough mane a their neck, and most had already rubbed away the velvet on their antlers.
The does are a bit smaller, but still large.
Another sambar doe.
A small langur sits in the fork of a tree.
Langurs were the most common monkey. We also saw rhesus macaques.
Wild boar looked to be best left alone.
A wild boar family.
The smallest mammal we saw -- the Indian hare.
This is the closest we got to tigers -- fresh pug marks.
Lots of fresh pug marks -- they are huge -- close to 6 inches across.
The tire tracks are fresh, but the pug marks are even newer. This tiger must have been laughing at us from the bush it was so close.
