January 19: Rajaji National Park

I saw a hyena today! I went on a elephant safari and wasn't expecting to see much (and I wasn't quite sure why I felt like I needed to go to a park to see animals when they are all over the city). Just riding an elephant with my two guides, one with a spear and the other with a rifle, as he bush-whacked through the forest and ate down the trees was pretty cool. But I also got to see lots of deer, peacocks, wild boars, and a huge healthy female hyena!
