Pulicat Sanctuary
Located at the border of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, Pulicat Sanctuary covers an area of 500 square kilometres.
It is a brackish water lagoon, the second largest in India, and is situated along the coast of Bay of Bengal.
The sanctuary attracts many migratory birds and also is a feeding and nesting ground for aquatic and terrestrial birds.
The dry evergreen forest in the sanctuary provides the perfect environment for birds, such as flamigoes, pelicans, different varieties of storks, ibises, cormorants, egrets, ducks, pintails, terns, grey herons and sandpipers.
Fish and invertebrates, such as prawn and molluscs can also be found here.
Monitor lizards, cobras, Russell’s vipers and kraits are some of the reptiles that can be spotted at the Pulicat Sanctuary.
