Kanha is known for its tiger population. It also has a variety of fauna, especially the swamp deer(Barasingha).

Fauna

The heterogeneity and diversity of habitats influence the local distribution of mammals. The presence of mosaics of meadows within the woodland, and large expanses of herbage, also have a bearing on the aggregations of herbivores. The central meadows of Kanha, locally known as maidans, are rich in ungulates and other fauna. This high prey density area is encompassed on three sides by the ridges of the Deccan Trap, leaving a gap only in the north towards Sonf. This topographical peculiarity poses a physical barrier to animal movement from the central meadows. Likewise, the ridges extending along the eastern boundary of the reserve impede animal movement between the eastern and western portions of the park. Such topographical attributes foster pockets of high and low prey density areas within the Protected Area, resulting in unequal concentrations of tigers and co-predators in different portions of the habita
