The search for a tiger who killed a man in Adakkakund in a row of Nilambur Forest in Kalikav last week, continued on the fifth day on Tuesday without much success. More than 50 forest employees, divided into three teams supported by drones and cameras in live currents, which on Tuesday eliminated steep forest terrains adjacent to the bumper areas of the Silent Valley National Park. The search will continue on Wednesday.
“The tiger seems to be elusive. But we will continue our tracking operation until we find it,” said Arun Zacharih, the main veterinary surgeon of the wilderness who led the search.
According to Dr. Zachariah seemed that the animal had moved from the territory where it created fear and shock by a deadly attack on Gafoor Ali, 44 years, while he tapped the rubber plantation he rented in the previous Adakkakund.
“We have found several wild animals, including elephants and believers, but a tiger. But we will not go back to our mission that will continue until the animal is seen,” Dr. Zachariah.
The rain partially influenced the search on Tuesday. In addition to the 50-Lich cameras established for the tiger, several camcorders with live tracking devices on mobile phones were also set up near the two tiger cages.
The tiger was caught on one of the traps on the cameras built on the spot where he killed Gafoora on Friday. “We knew it would come to the exact place where it killed it. But as soon as we started their search, the animal also started to avoid us,” Zachariah.
Several kumkis were ready to watch. They will only be used after the tiger’s presence. “What I am trying to watch is to watch the territory of the tiger. We will use Kumkis in the last stage of the tracking process after we see our territory,” Dr. Zachariah.
Kumkis will be needed for a tiger borehole. According to experienced forest officers, the tiger will always be charged for a person who is arrow. Using Kumkis, the Darting team can build a good defense against the charging tiger.
