The wild life paradise with a terrain of scrub jungle, with the sea and river as its boundaries is a National Reserve of 126786 ha. The majestic elephant are the most famous residents at Yala, while the visitor with a sharp eye could spot leopards. The bear could be sighted in the evenings, while hundreds of shy spotted deer roam freely. Visitors can observe the jackals slinking away monkeys at their pranks chattering away wild boar and buffalo at their watering holes, crocodiles basking on the bunds besides hundreds of others in their natural habitats.
