The dry deciduous forest consists of teak, tendu and bamboo.

It has a presence of tigers,[5][6] which have apparently migrated from Ratapani and colonized Kheoni.

Other commonly found carnivores are jungle cats, jackals and striped hyena.

The dominant herbivore species are nilgai, blackbuck, chinkara and chital (spotted deer).

Sambar, wild boar, barking deer, four-horned antelope, and palm civet are also present, but rarely sighted.
