There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

That being said, there's no better source of info than a guide or driver, a naturalist is 2nd to them. Guides and drivers are locals and they spend every day in the reserves, naturalists will go when they have clients but guides & drivers are always there.
Yes its true. Guides have all the knowledge about the park they work in. When I went to Ranthambore zone 2 morning safari our canter was the last one to enter and bit late. By the time we were inside most vehicles were returning and there had been no tiger sighting till then in the zone. People in our canter too thought that we will be dissapointed. Just then a last vehicle was passing by. Both our guide and the other guide shared some info and went separate ways. And then our guide asked the driver to take a slightly non rountine route. and within 10 minutes we reached a place where we saw a full tiger family. So yes any person like that would be such a good addition to the forum. and my guide had all the information about most of the tigers.
I also asked about what he and others feel about the Ustaad saga. Surprisingly he sided with the tiger(so do I) and was bent on explaining how the park lost a wonderful specimen because of people's stubborn attitude during the whole episode.
