entry description
It is said sighting a tiger in Dudhwa (Kisanpur WLS is also a part of Dudhwa) is just like sighting a Snow Leopard in Kibber, only next to sighting Yellow Throated Martens in the North or Clouded Leopard in North East or the Royal Bengal Tiger aka Swamp Tiger in Sundarbans. It was only 30 mins and this King was seen strolling in Kisanpur wildlife sanctuary. This male tiger, Sarda was actually extremely shy of humans. Few days back, the tiger while following its prey in the outskirts of the forest got its neck entangled in a metal wire. It althou was able to get itself out of the mess, but unfortunately the metal wire was tightly wrapped around its neck. Notice the two diggings and small ridge over the top of its neck. These are because of the tight wire around the cat's neck. Well, finally the cat got itself a necklace but in a bad way.back to gallery
