Photos Of Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary

Kutch, Gujarat, India
The Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, also known as the Little Rann of Kutch (LRK) Wildlife Sanctuary, is the only place on earth where the Indian Wild Ass, locally known as the Khur, can still be found in the wild. Established in 1972, this sanctuary covers an area of nearly 5,000 square kilometers, maki ng it one of the largest wildlife reserves in India. The landscape is a unique combination of saline mudflats (the Rann) and grassy plateaus known as Bets. These Bets serve as the primary habitat for the Wild Ass and other wildlife during the monsoon when the rest of the Rann is flooded. The Khur is a magnificent creature, known for its incredible speed and stamina, capable of running at over 50 km/h for long distances. Apart from the Wild Ass, the sanctuary is home to a variety of other animals, including the Chinkara, Desert Fox, Nilgai, and the Blackbuck. It is also a paradise for bird watchers, especially during the winter months when thousands of migratory birds, including Greater Flamingos, Pelicans, and Cranes, descend upon the seasonal wetlands. The sanctuary's ecology is fragile and unique, being a mix of desert and sea influences. The salt-pan workers, known as Agariyas, also live within the periphery of the sanctuary, producing a significant portion of India's salt. This coexistence of wildlife and traditional industry is a fascinating aspect of the Little Rann. The vast, flat landscape creates stunning mirages during the hot afternoons, adding to the mystical feel of the place. Safari tours are the primary way to explore the sanctuary, usually conducted in open-top jeeps that can navigate the treacherous mudflats. The sanctuary is not just a place for wildlife enthusiasts but also for those interested in geology and photography, as the cracked earth of the dry Rann provides a dramatic backdrop. Conservation efforts here are crucial, as the Wild Ass is listed as a 'Near Threatened' species. Visiting the sanctuary offers a rare chance to see these untamable animals in their natural, harsh, yet beautiful environment.
