Malik Talao is one of the lakes present in the Ranthambore National Park. These water bodies are vital for the ecosystem of the park as they act as a source of food and water for birds and animals. The lake attracts a large bird population that includes plovers, moorhens, herons, storks, kingfishers, kites and hawks. Crocodiles can also be seen resting on the banks while, at times, tigers are seen too.
