Bhadra Wildlife
Sanctuary |

The
sanctuary takes its name from the eponymous river, its
lifeline. Popularly known as Muthodi Wildlife Sanctuary,
after the village on its periphery, it is a great place
to sight the ferocious tiger, observe the Indian bison,
hear the strange calls of
the striped hyena, and see the rare flying lizard glide
amidst the huge trees. The
southern part of the sanctuary is rich in birds, butterflies
and reptiles. More than 250 species of bird life, many
of which are endemic to the Western Ghats, are spotted
here.
