What Else Besides Tigers?

What else can you spot besides Tigers at the Ranthambore National Park? Well, during my frequent trips, I have been able to spot some amazing birds and animals. Among some are Francolins and Crocodiles. But then some of the candid poses of spotted deer and Sambhar deer can be an amazing experience. Momma Sambhar Doe stamps her foot hard on the ground when she perceives danger. I saw the mother stamping her feet to warn her offspring of danger, which was in the form of a large mongoose, and not fortunately, a tiger!




Watching a Sambhur Deer and her offspring can evoke emotions associated with parenting. I spotted a mother Sambhur Deer with her offspring, and they were in perfect sync, ears pointed in one direction, the offspring waiting to spring to safety when prompted by the mother.



But then, the crocodiles basking in the sun can be as terrifying, though not as terrifying as the Nile Crocodiles that I used to see in Ethiopia. 

Apart from all the birds one will spot at the Ranthambore National Park is the Indian Thick Knee. Spotting one could be a gift, but spotting two can be a treasure!

Ultimately, it comes back to the question of whether one has spotted a tiger at the Ranthambore National Park, and the fact is that yes, you are more likely to spot one or more!
