Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Ashutosh]

Everyone knows that this tiger was not a maneater because none of the victim bodies was eaten. It was basic man-animal conflict, but, this is a question of larger picture of conservation because the villagers on the fringe of the forest can either help the FD or absolutely hinder their work. So, to pacify their anger, they have to be seen taking action against a particular tiger. It’s a sad reality of conservation in India today when tiger numbers are increasing.

But @Rishi’s post emphasises on the absolute resources need to be mobilized for catching a tiger as this one evaded them for 5 days even though they had encircled it to just 2 sq.km. Reply
