Lying
along the northern edge of the Chota Nagpur Plateau, the Palamau Tiger
Reserve has an area of 1026 sq. km.
The undulating terrain is set
off by sal forests and thickets of bamboo.
Though the Koel River
and its tributaries cut through the Park, the animals are mostly dependant
on man-made water holes for their needs and viewing them is consequently
quite easy.
Predators like the tiger and leopard, and elephant,
gaur, sambar, muntjac and nilgai are found at the Park.
The Indian
wolf has also been seen here.
