In the morning, still sleepy, we enter the jungle, where a sounder of Indian Boars (a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus ) is watching us, standing among the first trees, right next to the road. Nitin hopes to enlarge his collection of photos of Tigers. I am curious to see whatever awaits us in the Nagzira Tiger Reserve.

There were wild boars and monitors rustling through the leaves as well as the plantain squirrels that we had become so accustomed to. The walk trail at Lower Peirce Reservoir is only 900 metres long and it is a boardwalk. As we went along the trail it appeared to be fairly quiet and then we started to find a few birds.

To compensate for their lack of skill, hunters set their dogs upon a wild pig—a descendant of boars brought to America solely to give hunters the pleasure of killing a helpless animal. As the dogs tear chunks of flesh from the terrified pig, the hunters undoubtedly feel proud of their accomplishment.

It’s the boar hunting season. The soil is disturbed by foraging boars (and there is not a single shot from those hunters). One Grey-headed Woodpecker flies across the road – a promising start. At first, the road is paved, but as soon as the tarmac ends, the tracks become decorated by hunters in orange vests.

On her own, two months ago, she took down a big, old and experienced Indian Boar , who already had some old tiger claw scars. They are 20 months old, as big as their mother, but not as heavy. The fourth one is missing – she is the adventurer among them. These are my first wild tigers ever! The closer one raises her head, than lies back.
