PAPIKONDA NATIONAL PARK (ELURU)
A lone male tiger safely entered its natural habitat of Papikonda National Park (PNP) from the Eluru district side on February 6.
Sighted by the locals in a maize field on January 26, the tiger has walked above 100 kilometers before it entered into the PNP, through which the river Godavari flows. However, there was no record available on when and why the big cat left its natural habitat and entered into the agricultural fields and human habitations that are densely populated along its route.
