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.

Quote:Satpura is now famous for numerous tiger reserves. Once upon a time, it was ruled by wild Indian elephants and lions.

Can you read that which seems to be in Bengali @Rishi ? ---> (https://web.archive.org/web/201308110813...etail/5966)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satpura_Range
'আইন-ই-আকবরী'

ঠিক সরাসরি হাতি সংক্রান্ত কোনও আলোকপাত না করলেও' আবুল ফজল তার বিবরণীতে (খৃষ্টীয় ষোড়শ শতক) স্বীকার করেছেন যে তার সহচররা মধ্যভারতের উচ্চভূমি বা সাতপুরার অরণ্যে পশুরাজ সিংহের দেখা পেয়েছিল। তার মানে আজ থেকে ৫০০ বছর আগে গোন্ডয়ানার জঙ্গলে বাঘ-সিংহ দুয়েরই দেখা মিলত। কোনও এক অজ্ঞাত কারণে তার পরবর্তী সময়ে ভারতীয় সিংহের বাসস্থান সীমাবদ্ধ হয়ে যায় আরও পশ্চিমে সৌরাষ্ট্রের (গুজরাট) অরণ্যে। হয়তো ওইঅ একই সময়ে গোন্ডয়ানার হস্তীকূল সরে আসে পূর্বে ওড়িশা ও উপকূলবর্তী অন্ধ্রের জন্গলে।


From google translate :

' Ain-i-Akbari '

Abul Fazl, in his narrative ( 16th century AD ), admits that his companions had saw the lions in Central Indian forests of Satpura. That means 500 years ago both tigers and lions would have been seen in the forests of Gondwana. For some unknown reason the Indian lion's habitat was restricted to the forests of Saurashtra ( Gujarat ) further west . It may be that at the same time the elephants of Gondwana move to the forests of Orissa and coastal Andhra in the east.
