Flocking animals like \*Antilope cervicapra\*, \*Gazella gazella\*, \*Cervus unicolor\* and \*Boselaphus tragocamelus\* indicate a scrub-to-tree jungle in the hilly and plateau country and a tall grass cover in the plains. \*Bos\*/\*Bubalus\*, which usually inhabits less densely forested regions broken up by streams/streamlets with open expanses of grass, suggests that the plateaux and streamsides might have provided a plentiful supply of grass while the hilly slopes had a tree cover. The occurrence of \*Presbytis entellus\*, the arboreal langur, which moves in packs that can live on rocks and cliffs, provided there are shady groves and accessible water, also points to a small forest-type vegetation (Murty, 1975). - [Previous: v1.c20.s1.t3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.19) - [Next: v1.c20.s1.t3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.21) - [Up: v1.c20.s1.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.20) · Pramāṇa
