Kalpetta: Within the month four viral tiger videos claimed to have been shot in the forest areas in and around Wayanad have spread alarm among forest officials and conservationists for its damage potential. While two are from the district, the others are from Rajiv Gandhi national park in Karnataka. The videos create a false impression among public that the forests here are teeming with tigers. The videos are accompanied by misleading captions casting them as dangerous man-eaters; as the one with this legend: ‘Bavaliyil kaduva kootam ira thedan irangiyappol’ {A pack of tigers hunting prey at Bavali} when the fact was that it was a mother and its three sub-adult offspring! The concerns are valid as in the past inflamed crowds have resorted to blocking roads and calling hartals and turning against forest officials on the basis of rumours or scaremongering. While it is natural to spot a tiger near a forest road cutting through the core of a tiger habitat, Adv. Sreejith Perumana raises the obvious question as to who is the trespasser, since all the videos have been shot intruding into tiger territory. The videos can fuel fear and adversely affect the human-wildlife coexistence in a landscape like Wayanad where forests are interspaced with densely populated human habitations. #MalayalamNews #MalayalamLatestNews #KeralaNews
