It is named "Journey for Tigers".


In the 1st phase they'll go to every single one of the 50 tiger reserves in India, visit 500+ local schools along those forests' fringe. 

In the 2nd phase, Myanmar> Thailand> Malaysia> Indonesia> (ship)Vietnam> Cambodia> Laos will be covered.
There's going to be meetup with local NGOs supporting them in those countries.

Hello Members

Nothing can be worse than starting the new year with such a bad experience. Due to technical problem from hosting company our forum was down for more than 24 hours. This was the technical problems that is beyond the reach of my expertise. And only the hosting provider can fix/solve it.

I was very paniced and nervous through all this time and was in constant contact with the hosting company. At one time hosting company told me it is also possible that we might have lost everything and they can't get back the websites backup.. that means all thing lost forever.. I was almost screaming on them.. but they have nothing to say. Thank you to God, Jesus, Bhagwan, Allah, Buddha they were able to retrieve the website and able to make it online again.

So lesson learned from this incident is that.. We have to move on some more reliable hosting company. Good hosting company is not cheap and thats why we were avoiding them. We don't make much money from WildFact and hence was not avail to pay for it.

Thanks for reading and supporting us through this hard time.

I was in the Big Easy this past week for the holiday and we did an air boat tour in hopes to see some Gators.
Unfortunately it was a bit too cold and we didn't get to see the Gators come out to bask since they'll stay in their caves they build on the bank until the water heats up then they'll come out to bask, if it's too cold they'll just stay in their cave coming up only to take a breath every 4-5 hours but other than that they stay in an almost hibernation state except for they are awake the entire time.

Here are some pics and info below

An Aligator Gar


An Albino Gator they keep in the Lobby


A Snapping Turtle Skull


A Real Texas Cichlid they had in their Shop


A baby Gator getting some sun before we head out...
The smaller animals will bask before the larger ones for obvious reasons.



A vulture, there were lots of them on a Hog kill that was made earlier in the week.

Sorry I don't have many better shots, I took some good videos but they don't transfer well, either way it was beautiful and fun. 
I definitely recommend it, usually seeing Gators is guaranteed but not when it's cold.

Profession: Nature Explorer, wildlife documentary film maker, Wildlife Explorer cum Adventurer (Studying in Australian university about Wildlife).

Disorder: Funny all time, has a disorder of his body releasing adrenaline along with Oxytocine which make him do that thing again. many people and he himself Calls him as Homo sapiens retardus or retard man.

Specialties: Captures any animal with bare hands on bare foot like primitive man. Makes a documentary on it and releases it back into the wild unharmed.

Why he does so? He gets that euphoria feeling due to the produce of oxytocin during the adventurous thrill he get during that dangerous encounter and capturing of wild animals. He feels bonded with Nature. For that feeling of anxiety and wildlife or nature enthusiasm he does soo again and again. He films them in episodes.

Happy New Year!

In a few hours, i'm leaving for the forests of Dooars for a week. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, a brief introduction...

Map of Dooars.


Dooars is a moderately forested region situated in North Bengal (actually northern Bengal), a narrow corridor that joins rest of India with the Northeast since partition in '47. This is where the Ganga-Brahmaputra plain ends & Himalayan foothills begin. The name comes from the word "duar", meaning door in classical Bengali, the doorway to Bhutan. 
The stretch from Neora Valley National Park to Buxa Tiger Reserve, covering the three districts of Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri & Alipurduar is technically Western Dooars, with the eastern one beyond the Sankosh river made up of the Manas TR of Assam, but that term is not as popular.

In the past most of the region was a wilderness of monsoon forest & grasslands that joined the Terai with Brahmaputra floodplains. For much of its history the region formed is frontier between the Kingdoms of Bhutan & Coochbehar (Koch Bihar).
After the Duar War, saw deforestation during the British era as large swathes of land came under tea plantations, that still sit on elephant corridors, causing considerable conflict & death on both sides. 

Some communities that they kicked out from ancestral lands were settled here to work as semi-bonded labourers. Many of those plantations lie closed from time to time because paying reasonable wage simply isn't profitable!

I'll provide detailed info as i write along. In the meantime, if you want to know more on wildlife of Bengal, then this treasure trove has all data:

I propose a new topic about big cats' intelligence. Not a biased topic like the previous one " tigers 16% brainier than..." titled. It sounded like a fanboy fanzine...

But a topic also about the advantages, or not, of the social life. As such I come to discover this account of the scientific american :

https://www.scientificamerican.com/artic...-big-cats/

OK, the title seems categorical. I feel me a little bit contradictal by what I have introduced this new topic. At least, for those who would reproach me for choosing it, there are as many truths as there are scientific men...

Hi guys, posting this thread to connect anyone who is planning to visit the tiger reserve of Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. Anyone who have tried to get an online ticket for this reserve know that its very difficult to get confirmed entry pass, especially for the main core areas and if you have a group. And last year, I connected with some guys from Jaipur, that said that they can offer confirmed entry passes for Ranthambore, especially for groups. So, I am sharing their contact details. Name: Mr Chaturbhuj Singh, his contact number: 9928399846 and website is http://rajputanacabs.in/.

(Disclaimer: I am not connected with these guys, and only sharing this as 2 members contact me on how I always get confirmed jeep tickets for Ranthambore)

Hey Grizzly...
I know it’s hard when they are carved but what do you think this is? Thanks.
