I love Bardia!

I love Bardia! We went rafting and saw gangetic dolphins. When we stopped on the river bank for lunch we saw tiger foot prints and tiger cub's foot prints. We also found a sand lion and saw loads of monkeys.

I also liked jungle trekking. It took about 8 hours a day and was very humid. We saw monkey, deer, crocodiles, otter, jackel, wild boar and lots more. I found deer bones and lots of tiger prints around it. So I guess a tiger must have eaten it. We found a rattle snake skin and caught lots of frogs.

We went in the jeep one day. It broke down. While we were fixing it, we heard a leopard. It was hunting the deer near us. The deer were making this howling sound. The leopard got quite close, so we had to run away and get back in the jeep.

We followed rhinosorus, elephant and tiger tracks. One day when we were following a herd of elephants, we had to run to the look out post because we were in very long grass and the elephants were coming through the area we were in. One of them had killed a lady the night before, so everyone was a bit nervous.

We found a place where the elephants had been eating mud and playing. They had made lots of holes.

One day we were near a water hole and saw that all the fish were dead. Poachers had put poison in the water, so they could kill animals. The next day we went back there and the army came through looking for the poachers. We were told, if the poachers had a gun the army would shoot them.

We went on an elephant trek. When we went into the water a huge python snake jumped in next to us.

The rats woke us up early every morning because they kept eating the mud walls of our hut. Mum kept trying to scare them away, but they weren't scared of her.
