Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This research is an exploration of vertebrate fauna of the Orchha Wildlife Sanctuary (OWS) in central India. The study consolidates information from field surveys. A total of 15 fish (6 families), 6 amphibians (3 families), 13 reptile (9 families), 98 bird (43 families) and 19 mammal (15 families) species are reported. It was found that the birds were the most dominant vertebrates, followed by mammals, fishes and reptiles whereas amphibians were represented least. Four species of turtle and rare species of vulture including king vulture were present in the OWS. This is a first such extensive study for the Sanctuary and provides an initial baseline of vertebrate species for future research in this area.
