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.

Investigate it and if found to be the drivers fault, they should face the consuquences, IMO.
My first post here !!!
These highways are really a problem for tigers. According to Times of India a 15 months tigress cub was run over near Tadoba. Very sad indeed. When I think that India is almost certainly destined to be a major power, possibly the 3r largest economy in the world around 2025, the situation of highways around and inside Tiger Reserves can be a great challenge to deal with. According to tigernet, more tigers have died this year than in the same period of 2014, and they are not considering the mysterious case of the 5 missing tigers in Ranthambore...[img]images/smilies/sad.gif[/img]
By the way, I have a small question. It is said everywhere that tigers from South India are not as big as tigers from Central and North India. Unfortunately there are not many pics from south tigers, but those which I saw, the tigers does not look smaller at all. Considering that many tigers live in South India, specially Karnataka, there might be some "monsters" , but they are not easy to spot.
