India is a tropical country with a vast region under forest cover. Innumerable flora and fauna thrive over here since time immemorial. Whether it is birds, reptiles or small and large wild animals, they are found in plenty here.
The forests and reserves are all considered as protected areas wherein hunting and poaching of animals is punishable by law. Some of the forests are connected with each other through forest trails and natural corridors which the animals use to go to and fro as per their whims and desires.
Recently a tiger from Ranthambore Wildlife National Park was spotted in camera traps set about in the Kuno-Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh. It is an amazing feat by the big cat to have traveled nearly 225 kms to reach there probably in search of food or a new mate. It is news that is received with mixed reactions – one is that it has extended its territory and created its predominance in the said area; while the other reaction is that the Kuno-Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary was earmarked for shifting of Asiatic Lions from the Gir Forest in Gujarat.
Now it seems a bit difficult as there is a possibility of the two big cats wrestling for the territory in which they might harm each other.
So now conservationists are in a dilemma of exactly what to do and what not to do!!! So till a decision is taken, the tiger from Ranthambore National Park is set to make the MP Wildlife Sanctuary its new found homeland.
