The
Palamau Tiger Reserve, lying along the northern edge of the Chota
Nagpur Plateau, has an area of 1026 sq. km. The undulating terrain
is set off by thickets of bamboo and sal forests. Though the Keel
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.
