• Geography of Gir National Park
• Seven major perennial rivers crisscross through
  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.
