Ok so your prepped for your holiday in the great unknown, with tour guide ready. What the main things for you to actually worry about when you go on a safari in Sri Lanka?
- The Elephant is probably something that you would be dying to see when on any safari. Elephants can be domesticated but they can even become extremely deadly, the Asiatic and African elephants both go through a random phase of frenzy called Musth, which literally translated means “Mad”.
- There are some animals that you will naturally have a fear of, such as the Leopard. Leopards are extremely fast, outrunning it is impossible, not to mention they have big teeth and big claws. If you see one of the animals coming towards you slowly, then stand still, don’t run! These animals are generally quite shy and will back away from you, finding them is tricky.
- Many people think that this is not really a dangerous animal, but it all depends on the person who confronts it. The Sambar Deer is a very large and powerful animal. These animals have a relaxed attitude, just make sure that you don’t agitate them. They will charge if they feel they are under attack, and weighing in at around 280 kilos each, you don’t want a stampede.
- These next ones are some big reptiles. The Swamp Crocodile is one of those animals that will lash out at almost anything that approaches it, many animals and people are considered food. This animal is one you really don’t want to be to close to.
- Finally is a lizard, but it is quite a large one. This lizard is best known as a Monitor Lizard, and is a deadly creature about 2 and a half metres in length. Do not get in this animals way!
Still fancy Sri lanka holidays, in all realities, these creatures are never going to cause a problem on your vacation. If you want something more relaxing maybe you should try Luxury holidays, how about Dubai holidays?
