Earlier
the hunting preserve of the Maharajas of Jaipur, the Park at Ranthambore was
once the scene of royal hunting parties. Today, it is famous for its tigers
and is one of the best places in the country to see these majestic predators
in the wild. 
The
lakes and pools at the Park are where the deer congregate and where it is
easiest to see the animals. Among the other local fauna are the leopard,
hyena, jackal, jungle cats, sloth bear and marsh crocodile. Jacanas. painted
sto-k. hiaci-. stork, and white necked stork are seen along the water
bodies. Peafowl are found in abundance and other birds include Bonelli's
eagle, crested serpent eagle, the great Indian horned owl, quail, partridge,
spur fowl and the paradise flycatcher.
