With the onset of summer, the seasonal migration of wild animals has begun from the adjacent wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS).

The inflow of wildlife is comparatively low this time owing to better rain in the sanctuary as well as adjacent tiger reserves till December 15, Jose Mathew, Assistant Conservator of Forest, WWS told The Hindu. However, this would be increase considerably by the end of February, he said.
