Animal Events
1Spring Grassland Herbivore Gathering
With the arrival of spring, large herbivores such as the Wild Water Buffalo congregate in large numbers across the newly sprouted grasslands to feed on fresh tender shoots.
2Monsoon Avian Nesting and Foraging
The heavy monsoon rains trigger intensive nesting and foraging behaviors among forest birds, where the Spotted Dove and White-throated Kingfisher actively hunt and raise their brood in the lush canopy.
3Winter Primate Foraging and Migratory Bird Settling
Winter brings cooler temperatures that prompt the Capped Langur to forage actively in troops among the high canopy while the Siberian Stonechat settles into the open grasslands.
