Tiger sighted in maize plantation near Huey Kha Kheng wildlife sanctuary

 

 

Forest rangers have been trying to track down a wild tiger and persuade it to return to its natural habitat, in Huey Kha Kheng wildlife sanctuary in Thailand’s western province of Uthai Thani, after its foot prints were found in a maize plantation close to the sanctuary.

 

Mr. Permsak Kanitthachart, chief of the sanctuary, said that forest rangers from Khao Khieu forest protection unit and officials from Khao Nang Rum wildlife research station have been trying to locate the large cat, after they found its foot prints Tambon Rabum, Lan Sak district.

 

Drones have been deployed to assist in the search.

 

He said the tiger was spotted at about 8pm on Tuesday and villagers in the area have been warned to form guards to look out for it and to refrain from going outdoors at night for their safety.

 

More foot prints of the beast, and traces of what is believed to be a hunted dog, were found in the maize plantation yesterday morning.

 

A forest ranger said today that it is expected that the stray tiger can be chased back into the jungle within a week.

 

Officials are afraid that the tiger, which is a rare protected wildlife species in Thailand, may be killed by villagers or hunters if it does not return to the jungle.

Better shoot it before it eats someone, you can't allow wild animals to roam around wherever they like ????

release more tigers to sort the dog  problem , concentrate on the REAL  tahi wildlife then you can encourage tourism with tiger  tours instead of those festering  dogs

Tigers in corn fields, Crocodiles in park ponds, Toads and Monkeys in Parliament. Amazing Thailand

Was there a buffet at the end?

[Artisi]

Nonsense news I would think. 

Is it a 2 legged tiger, only 2 prints to be seen on the sandy track, or did it do a bit of a side step and then jump back into the maize. 

It should join the fake watches, videos, jewels, elected parliment etc.

This tiger enjoys chinese and korean cuisine, aka dogs.

Since the village provide readily a good supply of food, why move?

 

Alternative idea: let it roam Pattaya, plenty strays, an issue this tiger could fix a lot faster then the officials!

[shoupy]

Like herding cats.

So it's ok to shoot a tiger? whatever you do dont feed the fish

[Grumpy one]

Strange to see 2 tiger paw prints with a crop circle around each one.

Are their many alien sightings in the area?

"Officials are afraid that the tiger, which is a rare protected wildlife species in Thailand, may be killed by villagers or hunters if it does not return to the jungle."

At least the villages/hunters now know where to start looking ....
