Tadoba is characterized by dry deciduous forests. Every year, forest fires affect this region, burning down somewhere between 2 per cent and 16 per cent of the Park. Tadoba is the oldest and largest national park in Maharashtra. The name of the Park is derived from the name of a tribal God ‘Tadoba’ or ‘Taru’.
The Tadoba National Park is divided into three separate forest ranges- Tadoba north range, Kolsa south range, and Morhurli range. Teak is the most prominent tree species in the Park. Ain, bija, dhauda, hald, salai, semal, tendu, beheda, Mahua madhuca, bamboo and black plum are the other common trees found in the Park.
The animals of Tadoba include tigers, Indian leopards, sloth bears, gaur, nilagi, striped hyena, small Indian civet, sambar, spotted deer and barking deer.
