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 was in May. Wasn't that man-eater caught later on? 

And the elephant incident is being blown out of proportion. It only made to newspaper because this victim was an elephant, a big animal, that too pregnant. This sort of bomb traps are common for pot-hunting. Pigs & minor wildlife die everyday. Very hard to check.

IMO only counter that can stop it is sniffer dogs (they can detect the powder pretty easily actually)... But as of now only tiger reserves have them, not minor forest ranges.
