Wilpattu National Park really lives up to its title, since it has over 60 lakes within its boundaries. Due to the region's favourable conditions for plant and animal growth, as well as its abundance of vital water supplies, the area is home to an exceptionally diverse array of animals and plants. Animals like sloth bears, leopards, water buffalo, and elephants may be seen roaming the dense woods and scrublands. Sloth bears are particularly endearing.
