Scientific name Sus scrofa.
Terrestrial diurnal animals, the wild boar is found in grass, bush jungle or forest at an elevation up to 2000 m.
Wild boars are omniverous and will sometimes feed on carrion as well as crops, roots, tubers, insects, snakes and offal, usually eating early in the morning and late in the evening.
They breed throughout the year, and after a gestation period of 115 days, 4-6 young are born.
The hare is usually nocturnal in habit and by day it is found in a scooped out hollow or 'form' made in the patch of grass. The hare is a great menace to cultivation, feeding on vegetable crops like carrot, radish, peas, cabbage etc. Reduced by snaring and shooting, the greatest cause for the decline in its population has been the destruction of plant cover.
Having spend a beautiful morning in the park, we are quite unprepared for the adventure awaiting us outside the gates: there, on top of the escarpment, is a leopard! A very rare sighting indeed, we are absolutely thrilled to see the leopard!
Tigers will attack, kill and eat leopards if given the opportunity, so the leopards tend to stick to the outskirts of the park.
Video is easier than still camera for wild animals; though if 2 people are together, both are ideal. My wife stayed at the hotel and I took both video and still camera alone. I got great video but my stills of the wildlife are few and not great. My old Canon AE1 had a manual focus 200mm zoom lense. I recommend having what I do now--a super zoom camera with image stabilization and video capture capability. Forget the little point and shoot camera--that's not much good here. But, pro grade equipment complexity can meltdown under duress in the field. So, whatever you have, make sure you know how to use it. Have a 1gb card in the still camera, and plenty of time on the video tape. You'll want to be trigger happy. Tigers here won't stop to smile, pose, or do anything to benefit your slow photography skills, so capture what you can, and edit later at home. Fill the frame with the animal features, not so much the background forest as I was forced to do with my 200mm lense shot shown here.
About three miles Sawai Madhopur, the views breathtaking plenty of wild life to see here, drive though local village's see them bringing their flocks of sheep and goat's in to protect them from the leopards.
