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.

this is probably a first record shot after 65 something years.
here is the original post below.
Quote:I had a very, very rare sighting of a white tiger in the mountains of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. A tiger has 1/10000 chance of being born white, as per Wiki. I have heard of such tigers from the North, and from MP/Rewa. Googling didn't throw up any results re sightings from NBR. So perhaps this is the first documented one in recent times from these regions. A lot more rare than sighting a black panther, especially in the South. P.S. the forest department folks asked me to keep the location secret when sharing on a public forum, so those of my friends who know, don't share.
