Know your national animal
Whether you view in movies, cartoons or in
safaris, the animals that create a majestic aura around them are lions and
tiger. Their walking style exudes pure grace making people go week in their
knees. Although lion has got its due credit being crowned as the king of the
jungle, tiger is not behind. Termed as the national animal of India, Tiger has
been appreciated and talked about by the wildlife enthusiasts, animal
activists, nature lovers and wildlife photographers. Even the Government of
India has started the conservation of tigers few years back. Most of the
national parks in India have their popular safaris and Tadoba Andhari Tiger
Reserve is one of them.
Most of us like to watch the tiger live and
feel his charm around. However, there are few interesting facts about our
national animal that drops our jaws wide. As tiger is the largest cat, his
punch can literally kill you. While being born blind, the survival rate of all
the tiger cubs is low. Tigers like to hunt in group which is also called as
ambush or streak. They have inclination towards other big cats and hence also
can mate with lions. Tigers have diverse diets which consists of deer, rhino,
crocodile or even a bird. Tigers like solitude most of the times and they
prefer engaging in hunting at nights to patrol their territories. Their saliva
is antiseptic thus immediate licking on the infection can act a first aid.
Although they prefer to walk in ambush, they
are very humble towards their group. Although not the fastest runner, their
strong legs can make them go around 60 kms per hour when needed. While we
shared the fact of the beautiful animal, a visit to a park can certainly be
worth. ‘Unlock’ has open several places and Jharana Jungle Lodge awaits your
stay at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.
