The hunt for a tiger that wandered from his wildlife sanctuary in Uthai Thani is finally over. After a week of meandering the surrounding areas – and attracting public attention on information and social media websites – Vichit the tiger has been positioned and has returned safely to its natural habitat in Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary.
Light is carrying a collar with an electronic tag in it which alerts wildlife officers of the cat’s motion, though apparently not closely sufficient to capture the tiger earlier. The transmitter recorded actions displaying that the large automobile wandered about 83 kilometres in total earlier than returning back to the wildlife sanctuary.
Tracking information confirmed that the tiger got here shut sufficient to 6 totally different temples and communities to cause alarm, each that the wild animal would possibly harm a human or the cattle that locals herd in the area and that the cat might itself get injured or killed by human interaction. At one level it was rumoured that Vichit had been hit by a car, however that, luckily, didn’t occur.
The tiger had a meandering journey, exploring roughout Mae Wong National Park in Nakhon Sawan all the way to Kamphaeng Phet province within the Pang Sila Thong district. A wildlife official said Vichit largely wandered over small shrub-covered hills and through plantations of eucalyptus and tapioca in its weeklong adventure.
The twelfth Conservation Area Office in Nakhon Sawan said that the tiger’s adventure going viral raised consciousness of tiger conservation. They mentioned it’s probably tigers would stray once more sooner or later as the tiger population is growing in the habitat that is now not large enough to comprise all of them. Villages and farms near the habitat ought to take security precautions in addition to study tigers to grasp their nature and the means to protect people and their cattle from any future run-in with tigers..
