Sri Lankas Elephants :
Situated in the south east of the country hugging the coast of the Indian Ocean. Yala National Park was designated a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1900 and was then designated a National Parrk in 1938.

Yala is home to 44 species of  mammals and 125 different species of birds , among its famous residents are  the worlds largest concentration of Leopards  , Elephants ,Sloth Bears Sombars, jackals Spotted Deer , Peacocks and Crocodiles . The best time to visit Yala National Parkis between February and July when the water levels of the park  bring the animals out in the open.
