It is the only habitat in the world which provides home for the Jerdon's courser, a highly endangered bird species.[1] In addition to that it is also a home to nearly 176 families of vegetation and living organisms.[2] HistoryThe Sanctuary is well known for its habitation of the [([Jerdon's courser]] which is a critically endangered species. The bird was first discovered in 1848 by the surgeon-naturalist Thomas C. Jerdon and was thought to be extinct until its rediscovery in 1986.[3] The bird now inhabits the sparse scrub regions and forests of the Sri Lanka Malleshwara Sanctuary where the topography and weather conditions are compatible with its existence. Flora and faunaThe Sanctuary provides a home to nearly 1400 plant species and nearly 176 families of vegetation and living organisms. It has dry deciduous mixed thorn forests with deep gorges and steep slopes. Red Sanders, an endemic species, can be found here.[4] Its fauna includes the panther, sloth bear, cheetal, sambar, chowsingha, chinkara, nilgai, wild boar, fox and the Jerdon's courser.[5] Visiting seasonThough tourists are allowed to visit the sanctuary any time of the year, the best visiting period is between October to March.[6] The sanctuary can be reached easily. It is only 15 km far from the city of Kadapa which also has the nearest airport.[7]
