The national park is a habitat to a host to wild animals—the park shelters the endangered one-horned rhinoceros and Royal Bengal tiger. The park is also home to sloth bears, gharials, and wild elephants. Chitwan National Park is also one of the best spots for bird watching. Birds such as kingfisher, Bengal floricans, grass warblers, storks, egrets, etc., are found in the park.
