Days after a radio-collared wild elephant trampled a man to death here, alarming incidents of tiger, bison, and elephant herds venturing into human settlements have been reported from this mountainous district of Kerala.
The presence of a tiger was reported from a populated area of Padamala here on Tuesday. A CCTV visual of the big cat crossing a road in the area was released by local television channels.
A frightened local woman, who says she almost had a close encounter with the animal in the morning, is yet to recover from the shock.
