Sambar (Cervus Unicolour), Cheetal - Spotted Deer (axis -axis), Muntjac - popularly known as the Barking Deer and the four-horned antelope are seen in abundance. Nilgai or Blue Bull (Boselaphus - Tragocamelus) the largest Asian antelope and Chinkara (the Indian gazelle) are sighted in the open grasslands. 

The Leopard (Panthera Pandus) though sighted rarely, coexists in abundance. Jungle Cat (Felix Chaus), Striped Hyena (Hyena-Hyena), Jackal (Canis Aureus), Fox (Vulpes Bengalensis), Wild Dog or Dhole (Cuon Alpinus), Wild Boar (Sus Scrofa Cerstatus), Indian Wolf (Canus Lupus) are sighted regularly. So too are the Sloth Bear (Melursus Ursinus), Porcupine (atherurus-macrourus), Ratel (Mellivora Copensis) and the Indian Pangolin. The primates seen all over the park are the Rhesus Macque (Maccaca Mulatta) and the Black Faced Langur (Presbytis Entellus).
