Pench National Park
Pench National Park, nestling in the lower southern reaches of the Satpura hills is named after the Pench River which flows from north to south through the Pench National Park. It is located on the southern boundary of Madhya Pradesh.
Recently in 1992, Pench has been included under the umbrella of "Project Tiger" as the 19th Project Tiger Reserve.
A total of 758 Sq. kms of this Indian tropical moist deciduous forest has its extent merging with the tropical dry deciduous teak forest. The area is crisscrossed by a number of streams and 'nallahs' most of which are seasonal. Though the Pench River dries up in April end, a number of water pools locally known as 'dohs' are found which serve as water holes for the wild animals. The Pench Reservoir at the center of the park is the only major water source during the pinch period.
As prey concentration is high along the Pench River, Tiger and other predators usually inhabit this belt. As per the 2011, tiger census, the reserve has about 25 tigers. Leopard though generally operates in the peripheral areas of the park, is also seen in the deep forest. Jungle cats are commonly seen. Leopard cats, small Indian civets and palm civets are common but seen rarely due to their highly nocturnal nature.
In Pench, Cheetal, Sambar, nilgai are commonly seen grazing in the grasslands that dot the park. Jackals are fairly common and often seen throughout the park. Packs of up to 15 of wild dogs can be seen near Chhedia, Jamtara, Bodanala and Pyorthadi areas of the Reserve. Herds of gaur can be spotted near streams and bamboo patches. Sloth bears occupy hilly, rocky out crops and favour mahul bel infested forest. Chinkara is present in small numbers and is found in open areas around Turia, Telia and Dudhgaon villages.
Langur monkeys are very common in Pench, whereas the Rhesus monkeys may be seen occasionally on the fringes. Pench boasts of, nearly 300 species of birds that include several migratory ones also. Commonly seen are Peafowl, Red jungle fowl, Crow pheasant, Crimson breasted barbet, Redvented bulbul, Racket tailed Drongo, Magpie robin and lesser whistling teal.
