🐾 🟢 NEELAGIRI KADUVA ( Neelagiri Tiger ) HABITAT in Satyamangalam Tiger Reserve ( TR ) - Mudhumala TR - Bandipur TR Belt 

| Which forms the " Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve " .

🛑 🐾 Neelagiri Tiger {Neelagiri Kaduva} - is a Newly Discovered Rare Species

 👉 as Big as Tiger - with the face of dog, which is ■ Critically Endangered, 

👉 Discovered and SCIENTIFICALLY PROVED by Dijo Thomas ;

  in Kerala, Tamil Nadu & Karnataka in India, since 2014 !

..............................................................................

■ The Main Population of Neelagiri Kaduva in Tamil Nadu, India, Exists in the Satyamangalam - Mudhumala TR - Bandipur TR Belt .

● Which is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, Ecosystem !

Dijo Thomas did a Detailed Study of Neelagiri Kaduva in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, spanning many Years ! 

👉 1. Dijo Thomas found that the Main Habitat of Neelagiri Kaduva in Tamil Nadu, India, 

➖ Exists in the the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve ( NBR ) !!

👉 2. The Main Population of Neelagiri Tiger in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve

➖ Exists in the the Satyamangalam TR !!

Dijo Thomas has named this Population as Nilgiri Biosphere Population of Neelagiri Kaduva !

..............................................................................

● Satyamangalam Tiger Reserve is the Core Zone

 Satyamangalam acts as the Core Zone for Neelagiri Kaduva Habitat in NBR due to the Unique Geography and Location of the STR Region :

👉 Being Located in the Centre, STR allows Neelagiri Kaduva to Migrate to Other Wildlife Sanctuaries Located around it , viz

➖ Billigiriranga Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary, Sigur Plateau, Mudumalai National Park, Bandipur National Park and the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary !

👉 Unlike for Tigers, which have a smaller home Territory of about 30 sq. Km ;

   Migration is a Very Important aspect of Neelagiri Kaduva's Survival, which comes to about 100 to 150 Kms in length 

➖ The Highest for any Big Cat in the World !

..............................................................................

❓ Why do Neelagiri Kaduva MIGRATE 100 to 150 Kms in length ?

➖ ( The Highest for any Big Cat in the World ! )

👉 This High Migratory Nature of Neelagiri Tiger has to do with its Food Habits.

After a few weeks, the Dogs in an area will understand that a Predator, the Neelagiri Kaduva is present in their area !

1. Then the Dogs, Foxes, Jackals in the area will Temporarily Escape to other places !

2. Dijo Thomas have noticed another Behaviour among dogs in the Coastal Belt of Thrissur, where he Studied Neelagiri Kaduva for 2 Years, in 2016 and 2017.

👉 The Dogs will form a Big, Tight Gang among themselves, sometimes even more than 20, when Neelagiri Kaduva has been known to be Hunting in their Area ;

And will Fight the Neelagiri Kaduva as a Pack, making Hunting very Difficult ! 

Forcing the Latter to move off !

👉 Not Only People Living Near Forests in Satyamangalam Region ;
