Nepal tigers

[Roflcopters]

Quote:Peter :

You don't want a man-eating tiger to leave without first signing the proper documents. That's still apart from the damage to his cage:

I thought it was a bit unusual too, no tiger should be able to escape their rehabilitation facility if it’s properly secured. not really sure what happened there. 

Quote:Peter :

What happened to the male who destroyed his cage? Did he, regarding humans, change his behaviour? 

Quote:after his escape, he moved towards Chure region of Banke National park. far away from human-settlements as per Dr.Rabin Kadariya’s (NTNC) press release.


here is the third male that was caught on April/4/2021
he was critically injured in a territorial fight and resorted to killing humans. overall, he was linked to 3 deaths. same with “Dalla”. even though he looked healthy from pics, Dalla was found with a broken canine and damaged claws as a result of a serious fight and as a last resort to survive. these tigers turned man-eaters.

Quote:Peter :

I'm not suggesting adult male tigers in Nepal top the list, but reliable information suggests they could be very close. Hunters agreed. One of them ('Hunting in the mountains and jungles of Nepal', P. Byrne, Safari Press, 2012, pp. 63) wrote Nepal tigers (referring to tigers in the western part of the country in particular) have shortish tails, large heads and long, bulky bodies. 

most definitely, Terai tigers. whether they are from India or Nepal are probably some of the biggest tigers out there. i’m sure there’s regional differences but to me at least. their potential can’t be overlooked and all the historical records points towards them being exceptional. 

Quote:Peter : 

Tigers in India and Nepal are protected. Quite something if you consider the number of humans in both countries. The result is more tigers. Although new reserves have been added, more are needed. Another problem is most reserves are quite small. Not seldom, tigers unable to compete have no option but to settle outside the reserve. As many reserves are surrounded by villages, conflicts between humans and tigers never are far away.

I agree, with the growing population of tigers. even the extensions and buffer areas alone can’t guarantee enough space for the tigers. prey-depletion is also a major factor and as a last resort, tigers will then turn towards hunting livestock and humans just to survive. both India and Nepal are dealing with this issue. there’s really no real-solution to this.
