Visit to Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary
Visited Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary this weekend, to support the Forest officials for the animal sensex (animal counting). [Team size: 8]
We had a night trail on Saturday, where we strengthened our senses, to identify the location of the animals / insects /birds. Also located some water-holes and hide outs where we can possible hide to see animal at night for the sensex.
Sunday morning was the pugmarks search 6am - 12pm. With help of the forest servant, Ganesh, we identified the pugmarks of Monguse, wild boars, sambhar. Year 2005 sensex had counted 9 leopards (bibtya). During our visit, we identified and recorded 2 leopard pugmarks, one was identified as a young male (3 years old), and one was a female (mostly the other's mother). The pugmarks were fresh and looked like they had passed the location around 3 hours before our visit. [Pugmark prints are taken in plaster-of-Paris (PoP) to record the sitting.] Also sited the state animal - "Shekaru" (the giant squirrel) found in-majority around the Bhimashankar region. All-in-all a great experience and a fruitful event. Do follow the link below for a few photos from the event.
