Sri Lanka — Udawalawe National Park Elephant Safari Part 5


Interesting road sign

Still showing you Udawalawe National Park this week, with a Fun Food Friday at the end highlighting Sevanagala food from a charming pottery studio featuring “an authentic fusion of Sri Lankan traditional art and the world of modern Studio Ceramics.” As for today and we’ll continue to highlight the park wildlife, with Wednesday focusing on the main attraction — The Sri Lankan elephant.

For instance, let’s take a look at this fellow. This imposing raptor is the Sri Lankan changeable hawk-eagle:

There are toque macaques all over the place, and this particular subspecies of macaque is endemic to the island nation of Sri Lanka.

I’ll close out today with this photo gallery/slide show of Sri Lankan-specific elephants and macaques:
