Kabini

Last weekend we went on a five hour car ride to the Kabini National Park and River Lodge. There are many animals in the park, which are all wild. While we were there, we saw a lot of spotted deer and monkeys. Unfortunately we couldn't see any of the tigers or leopards, because there is such a small population of them. The cottages we stayed in overnight were nice and clean. I have put together a slide show so you can see some of the animals and the lodge where we stayed. We also got a chance to ride an elephant (only a short five minute ride) and ride in a boat across the river to see some elephants grazing. The elephants have to eat almost all day long to receive all of the food they need. On Friday night, we saw a movie that helped us learn a lot about the park and the animals in it. When we were there, the grass had almost turned to dust, but when the monsoons come, everything comes to life and the park turns green. We had a lot of fun learning about some of the animals found in the natural habitat of India.
