Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve
The Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is: the largest national park in the state of Maharashtra in central India. Most of the "reserve consists of natural dry deciduous forests," however parts have been cleared for firewood. Or grazing land. Besides tigers, there are Indian leopards, sloth bears, gaurs, nilgais, dholes, striped hyenas, small Indian civets, jungle cats, sambars, muntjacs, chitals, chousinghas and honey badgers. There are also villages in the reserve. And although cattle grazing is not allowed in the core zone, "some livestock inevitably stray inside." In 2013, "at least four people." And thirty——to fifty cattle were killed by, leopards, tigers and "sloth bears." This picture shows a Bengal tigress named Maya photographed in the reserve.Photograph credit: Stephenekka
