A great deal of Sri Lankan elephants are drawn to the grasslands around the reservoir's perimeter. The Minneriya tank helps to support a sizable herd. The number of elephants present here ranges between 150 and 200. They come here from Wasgamuwa National Park and take use of the food and protection provided by the forest in the park. Elephants are a major reason why people travel to Minneriya, especially during the dry season.
