Mammals
Udawalawe National Park is one of the most famous destinations to watch elephants. Not only for that but also this is an excellent place to visit many species of other animals. Among all the varieties of animals,43 species of mammals can be seen inside the park. They belong to 25 genera and 16 families, including seven species of rats, various bat species, six species of ungulates, three civets, three primates, three mongoose species, the leopard (Panthera pardus), the jungle cat (Felis chaus), Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), the black-naped hare (Lepus nigricollis), the golden jackal (Canis aureus), etc.
This park has the ability to attract a large number of visitors eye contact with the existence of a large population of Asian Elephants. People can easily witness them inside the reservoir area. As it contains a combination of greenish and bluish look inside the reservoir and also when some elephants can be visited there, it will awaken the wonders of nature in the people’s minds. Anyway, this park has the ability to sustain a large number of Sri Lankan elephants. Mainly these elephants can be seen in open grassland habitats and they take an important place inside this park.
In addition to the Asian Elephants, the most common species that can be found inside the park are: The wild Boar(Sus scrofa), Toque Macaque, The Black Rat(Rattus rattus), Grey Langur(Seminopithecus priam), Spotted Dear(Axis axis), etc. There are some endemic mammals. It has been recorded that six endemic species of mammals can be seen here, namely: Flame-Stripped Jungle Squirrel(Funambulus lanyards), SriLankan Spiny Mouse(Mus fernandoni), Toque Monkey(Macaca Sinica), SriLankan Golden Striped-Backed Palm Civet(Paradoxurus meminna), etc. One of the above-mentioned endemic mammals called the Spiny Mouse(Mus Fernando) is critically endangered while eleven species of mammals are nationally threatened. one species called the Wild Buffalo(Bubalus arnee) is an exotic animal that can be seen here.
The vegetation of these mammals is highly rich in the Grassland and Undisturbed Dry-mixed Evergreen forest habitats. Sometimes the elusive Jungle Cat(Felis chaus)can be visited by the people as they glimpsed on the road at all times of the day and night. Udawalawe National Park is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to visit such varieties of mammals. The endemic Ceylon Spiny mouse has been recorded in Udawalawe National Park in 1989. Apart from the above-mentioned categories, several species of small mammals are often seen inside this park namely; Common Rat(Rattus rattus), White-tailed Wood Rat(Madromys blanfordi), Antelope Rat(Tatera indica), Soft-furred Metad(Millardia meltada), SriLanka Spiny Mouse(Mus fernandoni), Painted Bat(Kerivoula picta), Indian Field Mouse(Mus booduga).
In Udawalawe National Park, we can see a few mammals that belong to the family Felidae. They are The Rusty-Spotted Cat, Fishing Cat, and Sri Lankan Leopard. Here, Sri Lankan Sloth Bear can be rarely seen. Mammals have the ability to live in any climatic conditions, they can exist in both cold and hot climates. So the vegetation inside this park provides great support for these mammals to survive here without any discrimination. However the abundant of all the species of Asian Elephants, Ceylon Spotted Deer, Grizzled Giant Squirrel, Leopard, Otter, Sloth Bear, SriLankan Spotted Chevrotain, Thick-tailed Pangolin, Toque Macaque, Water buffalo, Wild Boar, etc have been accumulated a richness to the biodiversity inside the park.
