We passed a couple of small lakes and spotted some crocodiles.
In the pool on one side of the gate we saw another Mugger crocodile.
We saw Noor, a 16 year old tiger and probably the oldest female tiger in Ranthambhore in Zone 6.
During the trek through the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary and game drives in Ranthambore National Park we saw many beautiful birds and fascinating animals - monkeys, antelopes, deer, a crocodile, frogs and the fresh footprints of a leopard.
