the entire area of the Gir National Park. The
rivers are Shingoda, Shetrunji, Machhundri,
Raval, Hiran, Datardi, and the Godavari. There
are also four dams built inside the park. These
dams ensure that the animals face no issue
regarding potable water. The water supply further
bolsters the survival of the flora which shades
the whole area. After all, the fauna also needs
water for the survival and sustenance of the wild
creatures. The largest among the four dams is
known as the Kamleshwar Dam. The reservoir
created by this particular dam supports hundreds
of species of birds. - About The Flora
- The searching eyes of a wildlife enthusiast will
scour the areas for the glimpse of a lion.
However, the vegetation of Gir deserves as much
attention as the animals. The trees and plants
are what bestow the natural habitat for the
survival of these creatures. Mixed deciduous
forests primarily dominate the landscape. Other
instances of flora include evergreen and
semi-evergreen trees. You will also find vast
stretches of grasslands and scrub jungles. The
dry deciduous nature of the forest creates a
predominantly parched climate. As you keep moving
up the hills, the trees tend to get shorter and
less dense than the plains.
