ridge gives Kanha an interesting topography. The Surpan River meanders

Kanha game reserve. It was here at Kanha that the eminent zoologist
George Schaller undertook the first ever-scientific study of the tiger. The
animals at Kanha are best observed from elephant back and the open
country makes the chance of sightings reasonably good. Deer are seen along
the maidans and gaur at Bamhindadr or in the Bishanpura Sondhar - Ghorella

dog. Langurs, wild boar, water fowl and birds are also commonly seen .
