Jaipur: Proof of photography from endangered Caracal has been reported from Wildlife Sanctuary Kumbhalgarh.
This is a wildcat species of the two countries facing the threat of extinction after Cheetah.
The presence of medium-sized wild cats, shy, nocturnal, is difficult to understand and is difficult to find in the wild, recorded at a private resort located about 1.5 km from the sanctuary.
DFO Fateh Singh Rathore said, “It was roughly after three decades that Caracal was seen in the sanctuary.
Last year, the forest staff claimed they saw it.
However, there was no concrete evidence.
Today, Caracal was captured by the camera.
This is a good sign for indicating The sanctuary has the right meadow.
“Last year in December, a report published in the International ‘Journal of Taxa’ said there had been a total of 24 caracal sightings reported since 2001, claimed to be the highest in this country.
But it cannot ensure the current population in Rajasthan.
This is mostly observing that the wildcats that are difficult to understand prefer dried autumn forests with water bodies eroded by the weight of the river, adjacent to the habitat of the abyss.
Also, they inhabit dry, dry and moist forest areas.
They are protected under schedule (i) of Indian wildlife laws because they are very endangered because of the loss of habitat in many countries.
Resort owner Vikramaditya Singh Rathore said, “In the past, cats that were difficult to understand have been reported from the Kumbhalgarh-Todgarh-Raoli area in Udaipur.
Because we only plant native trees and grass species, the place looks like a forest.
Fortunately, we see a caracal at Our resort.
“In Rajasthan, in addition to Ranthambore and adjacent areas, including Dholpur, the cat has been seen in the Udaipur area and an isolated population in the Chittorgarh-Pratapgarh area.
It has been stated that these bush residential species can still be present in countries such as Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and the eastern part of India, but not reported.
“Caracal is a native of Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and India, which are listed in the Red List of IUCN as species threatened,” said a forest official.
The cat has a hair beetle at the end of the ear.
They are nocturnal, nimble, fighters, difficult to understand, good hunter and found in small herds.
It hunts mice and birds games with incredible speed and dexterity.
“It can jump three meters in one leap and have claws shaped like a cheetah.
It can be easily recognized by a pointed long ear which ends with Tufts,” the official said.
