SRI LANKA'S WILD LIFE
 
UdaWalawe National Park UdaWalawe, in Sri Lanka's south-central sector, is the area which most resembles an African game park. Wildlife reports say there are about 500 elephants in the park and they often roam in herds of up to 100. Leopards, buffalo, deer and sloth bears keep them company along with mongooses, bandicoots, foxes, water monitor lizards and crocodiles.
  Yala, a nature reserve and national park with a total protected area of 126,768 hectares, is the best place to see a variety of wildlife because of its scrub plains, lagoons and rocky sections. The ideal time for elephants is February to July and the park's other main residents, seen with the help of a guide and a four-wheel drive, are the sloth bears, sambur deer, spotted deer, wild boar, crocodiles, monkeys and buffalos.
