The vast tracts of desert sands around Jaisalmer
with their wood fossils, have been designated
the Desert National Park . This park is an
excellent example of the ecosystem of the
Thar desert and its diverse fauna. Sand dunes
form around 20% of the park. The major landform
consists of craggy rocks and compact salt
lake bottoms, intermedial areas and fixed
dunes which are quite suitable for the chinkara
to move at high speed. The blackbuck is another
common antelope of this region. Its other
notable inhabitants are the bengal fox, desert
fox, wolf and desert cat. |
