A very sad news: All the wild water buffaloes translocated to Chitwan have died, most have died due to flooding and related illness while 4 were killed by tiger, there were altogether 7 calves produced in the enclosure and 15 adults were brought from Koshi reserve. My personal take- Chitwan is still suitable habitat considering wild buffaloes were already present in Chitwan prior to being established as a national park, however they were keeping buffaloes inside the boma for far too long for years probably thinking they must remain a tightknit unit as a defence against predators, for the future authorities have to devise a plan to bring in an already related herd and put them all at once in a boma for acclimitization and release it less then 4 months

On another occassion a tiger had entered into Gharial breeding centre and devoured 3 gharials after finding some opening in the enclosure
