Tiger-Spotting in Kerala
What could be better news for the newest tiger reserve in India than the news of five tigers being spotted within it? Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala is the country’s 38th tiger reserve! Earlier this month, a forest watcher had spotted the big cats and even got a photo of them. What is even more puzzling is that tigers usually roam around in a group only in the mating season. Here, the tigers were found by a stream. Wildlife photographer N.A. Naseer, who was in the reserve, too, was able to capture a few snaps.
According to the last tiger census using the pug-mark identification technique, the Parambikulam forests is home to an estimated 15 tigers.
