And in the daytime you’ll see them. Asian elephants and sloth bears. Spotted, barking and mouse deer. Mugger crocodiles and water buffalo. Brown-capped babblers and white-rumped shama. Purple-faced langurs and ruddy mongooses. Indian rock python and Sri Lankan hornbills. The list of wildlife and birds you’ll see in in Wilaputtu is almost endless.
