  Hunting for regally striped felines has long been banned in India but that doesn’t stop enthusiastic camera clutching tourists from actively ‘shooting’ tigers on wildlife safaris.
While majestic Bengal Tigers are at the top of every nature lover’s list, India has more than 450 national parks and sanctuaries where a menagerie of magnificent mammals can be seen.
Some 500 different species of mammals inhabit the protected forests of India. The Asian lion of Gir, the white tiger of Rewa, the wild ass of Kutch, the golden langur of Assam, the barasingha of Kanha, the Indian elephant and the gaur and the sambar are all trophy animals that eager visitors often see amid the cover of juniper and thicket.
An illustrated feature on the wildlife of India can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words, depending upon editorial requirements.
