In mid-December, I was birding along the Beljarica levee (Beh-LYAH-ritza), my local patch north of Belgrade, when something other than birds attracted my attention: three wild boars , appearing all black because they had just swam through the swamp to reach the bottom of the levee. I think all were males, at last two huge ones certainly were.

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. Clearings around the house offer favourite grazing to small herds of Chital deer and a playground to Gray (or Hanuman) Langurs.

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.
