Panna Fauna
Panna is home to the majestic Bengal tiger, as well as the leopard, wild dog, wolf, hyena, caracal and other, smaller cats. The Park’s rock escarpments and undisturbed vales are the favoured home of the sloth bear, while the wooded areas are dotted with sambar, the largest of the Indian deer, chital and chowsingha. Nilgai and chinkara are frequently spotted in most open areas in the grasslands, particularly on the periphery of the Park.
Panna Flora
Panna’s hot and dry climate has combined with the shallow Vindhyan soils to create dry teak and mixed forests. The dry, deciduous forest that covers the majority of the Park is interspersed with open grasslands. The Park is located on a vast plateau, dominated by a tropical forests, deep ravines, cascading waterfalls and thick teak forests. The Ken River flows through the reserve from north to south, with dense riverine thickets lining its banks.
