Kaziranga National Park India
Healthy habitat Kaziranga has over 100 tigers
“Kaziranga is one of the highest density tiger habitats in
the country and has a healthy breeding source population,” says a report.
It has over 100 tigers, the estimate based on the annual monitoring carried out in 2009, 2010 and 2011 using the camera trap method. The report, “Tigers of the Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India, 2009-2011,” says 118 tigers were recorded in the reserve over the three year-period.
The figure includes six tigers which died during the monitoring period.
The report says the tiger population in the reserve was extrapolated at 106 (minimum 81 to maximum 131) by Jhala et al (2011) as published by the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
Kaziranga, which was declared a tiger reserve in 2008, covers over 1,000 square kilometres.
Their major prey there, according to the report, are hog deer, sambar, swamp deer, Asiatic wild buffalo and wild pigs.
