Kabini-The river holiday (Photographs)

They sing at dawn, they sing at dusk, the day through they fly and play. From the mighty tuskers to the mouse deer, Kabini is home to many a variety of animals and birds though the elephants outnumber them. Today there is a growing need to conserve elephants. Did you know that the ecological impact of elephants is priceless? They modify their habitat by converting savannah and woodlands to grasslands. They can provide water for the other species by digging water holes in dry riverbeds and the depressions created by their footprints and their bodies trap rainfall. The humane side of them see them cry, play, and laugh. They have incredible memory too. Enjoy them at Kabini. Birds flock here in large numbers.
