Gujarat Tourism: Blackbucks and other wild animals spotted in National park in Bhavnagar

Established in 1976 in the Bhal region of Saurashtra, the Blackbuck National Park is spread over an area of 34.08 km. Flat land, dry grasses, and herds of antelope have always attracted visitors to this park which has a grassland ecosystem. Successful conservation programs for the blackbuck, wolf, and lesser florican (a bustard) are ongoing.  Several species of mammals have been recorded from the National Park, apart from large groups of Blackbuck such as Indian Wolf, Striped Hyena, Indian Fox, Golden Jackal, and Jungle cat.  Apart from these, several species of grassland birds such as Sandgrouse, Lark, and passerines are also abundant in the Park giving a boost to Gujarat tourism.
