 Tour to Goa Wildlife Sanctuaries - The
Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa was established in 1969
and is situated at a distance of 60 kilometers from Panaji
towards the south. It is the second largest sanctuary in Goa
and covers an area of 86 square kilometers. The Talpona River
flows all the way through this preserve. The park has a 25-meter
high treetop watchtower for watching wild animals as they
visit the waterholes to quench their thirst.
Although the forested land provides shelter to a variety
of birds and animals, the number of animals in this sanctuary
has started to dwindle over the years. Birds like the Rufus
Woodpecker, white-eyed eagle and the Malabar crested eagle
constitute the avian life that thrives here. Other birds to
be found here are Petrels, Shearwaters, Storm-Petrels, Tropicbirds,
Boobies, Cormorants, Darters, Frigate birds, Skuas, Jaegers,
Gulls, Terns, Skimmers, Sand grouses, Buntings, Finches, Munias,
Sparrows, Weavers. 19. Starlings, Mynas, Drongos and Corvids.
