Much of the park is dominated by a mosaic of Imperata cylindrical grassland and secondary forest habitat types, primarily a result of intensive logging operations in the past, but maintained by frequent fires and seasonal flooding. A central core area of the park is characterized by relatively intact primary tropical rainforest.Many kind of animals existed in the park. The four biggest of interesting wild animals are:

Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) – Gajah

Description – although they may grow to 3 metres at the shoulder and to a weight of 5000 Kg, they are smaller than their African cousin. They differ noticeably in that the Asian elephant has smaller ears, and a single finger on its trunk.
Behaviour – they live in closely organized herds, with an old female as leader. Males live a solitary life and periodically enter an aggressive, rut like condition called ‘Musth’ . Both sexes love the water and bathe daily to cool down and clean themselves. 75% of their day is spent eating, with brief sleeping spells.
Habitat – they prefer lowland forest and WKNP is considered prime habitat
Diet – they eat 10% of their weight every day, and select only high quality grass, fruits and bark.
Life history – elephants carry their unborn baby for nearly two years. Calves are covered in thick, prickly hair.
Population – c.28,000 left throughout Asia, with c.3,000 left in 44 increasingly vulnerable populati
