Yala National Park – Oldest in the world

It is the oldest known National Park in the world. Older than the names that we use to describe it, it is a natural forest where animals thrive for its conditions such as edible vegetation, tropical & dry weather with an abundance of estuaries enabling many life forms to exist side by side in this dense forest of large trees, plants, herbs, water bodies & vines. It is preferable to be silent in this kind of environment, stop talking & begin to listen to the sounds of nature. As the sounds we make are likely to disturb the wild animals, they can hide or simply disappear when they get perturbed.

Lions, tigers, cheetahs & leopards had once lived here. However, due to the phenomenon of the extinction of species, only the leopards have survived as revealed in the survivor series. One would feel fortunate to spot a leopard & it can happen at the spur of the moment, in a flash, unpredictably, spontaneously. Herds of Peacocks, monkeys & Elephants somehow seem to thrive as they appear on the scene as soon as one enters the park. Others materialize sooner or later as one goes deeper into the forest. The sound of the peacocks somehow seem to be working as an alarm giving the message to others to move away from where they are to run deeper into the wilderness as one drives in all the glory of being protected & equipped safe in a vehicle.
