The State of Madhya Pradesh also known as Central India is heavily forested albeit the cover has declined at many places. The perfect ecosystems are found in the Protected Areas of the State. Also known as MP, the wild mammals found here inhabit the protected areas and are found very rarely outside of them.
With constant conservation efforts by the State Government the PAs have seen a rise in population of herbivores and carnivores. At many places specially in the reserved forests the conservation efforts are negligible and mammalian population is completely decimated although there are exceptions
Among the herbivores both the deer species and antelopes are found in the State. The tiger population in comparison with other states is very high and hence MP is known as the tiger state.
ungles of Central India are listed below:
Major Carnivores are tiger and leopard classified as tertiary carnivores in the food chain. They are nocturnal hunters and their prey base constitutes herbivores and live stock. Tigers keep to dense forests hence are found in reserves with good crown cover. Leopards are more adaptable and inhabit human surroundings besides the dense forests. The tiger is being conserved under the Project Tiger Program in India but very little protection is granted to the leopard.
The herbivores constitute many species but the major ones are:
Langur
.
The jackal tops the list in being most active, highly vocal and visible. It is a carrion eater but a pack kills small deer and fawns. The fox is very elusive and highly nocturnal very little is known about it. The wild dog is a pack hunter and most charismatic. It is a local migrants and rarely sticks to one place. Its main prey is the spotted deer. 
MP State is home to many reptiles of which marsh crocodile, gharial and monitor lizards are popular among the nature lovers. These major reptiles can be seen in Chambal and Ken River Sanctuaries.

Pet Keeping and demand of animal parts is a major threat to wildlife all over the World. Tigers are critically endangered and they are an indicator species. Unfortunately common leopard in is receiving less attention in spite of being in the middle of man animal conflict. Wolves too need a strong conservation impetus in India. They are too at the center of man animal conflict and persecuted here and there in India and very few survive now.
pateluday, Thank you for the practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
India historically and presently displays such respect for animals that it intrigues me that leopards receive less conservation attention than tigers. Is it a question of prioritizing tigers because they're better known and less adaptable (and therefore inspire tourist pressure and suggest greater need) or because of budgetary constraints?
The other information that intrigues me is wolves being regularly persecuted. I love nature but generally prefer wolves to coyotes, hyenas and jackals.
Hunters this year killed 200-plus wolves within three days in Wisconsin, a state with far more coyote and wild dog than wolf problems.
in the United States, wolf body parts such as claws, coats, ears, tails and teeth and their meat warrant higher prices than coyotes, hyenas, jackals and wild dogs.
What would make wolves be more persecuted than hyenas, jackals and wild dogs in India?
