maidans - grasslands that Dover the extensive plateaus. Steep rocky
escarpments along their edges offer breathtaking views of the valleys below.
The grasslands at Kanha interspersed with forests of sal, teeming with
varieties of deer - the barasinqha, chital (spotted deer), chousingha,
nilgai, the majestic gaur (Indian bison) and wild pig, is 'tiger country'.
It is ideal for viewing both the predator and the prey.
It was here at Kanha that the eminent zoologist George Schaller undertook
the first ever-scientific study of the tiger. Another landmark at Kanha is
the preservation of the "hard ground' barasingha (cervus duvauceli
branderi) - the only surviving population of this Central Indian subspecies.
This was achieved by extending the grasslands, relocating villages and by
increasing the habitat. The animals at Kanha are best observed from elephant
back and the open country makes the chance of sightings reasonably good.
Deer are seen along the maidans and gaur at Bamhindadr or in the Bishanpura
