Nepal is home to an incredibly diverse population of mammal’s reptiles and birds. The plains of the terai are home to the endangered Asian one horned rhino a tough and rocky beast that hides in the tall grassed of the plains and Sal forests. Elephant are rarely wild but are used to ferry tourists about the National parks in search of the elusive Bengal Tiger from a safe roving vantage point. Marked deer and sambar deer as well as the sloth bear scurry   about in small herds to avoid their predators.

 Crocodile’s alligators the smaller linked gharals and marsh mugger lurk in the murky waters of the marshes and rivers that further south drain into the ganges River. These jungles that were once dense impassable and infested by malarial mosquitoes still host an amazing number of semi-tropical birds. Beyond the lowlands in the middle hills almost all the hillsides are either covered by in peace dense spooky forests or highly developed and extensively cultivated. Yet a great number of animals call these areas home specially the ones most easily observed such as the monkeys and langurs that abound in the forests.
