Sanjay Gandhi National Park
Sanjay Gandhi national park has played home to many poachers in the recent years. Usually, leopards are attacked. In many cases these animals had been poisoned, and claws or other valuable body parts were cut off and sold. Poaching could soon wipe out Mumbai's leopard population.

Temperature tends to stay a little cooler than the city because of a large green cover. During winters, dense fog can be seen and night temperatures below 15°C is common. Due to its natural green cover and presence of lake and elevation to some extent, rainfall varies greatly as what the city sees. The most southern part of the city (Colaba) receives an average of 2200 mm of rainfall annually, the northern part (Santacruz) receives 2500 mm and the national park just 12 km away from Santacruz receives more than 3000 mm annually.
