Nice and rare sighting of the sub-species of Jungle Cat. Large specimen. Nice write up.
I have vivid recollection that during my childhood a Jungle Cat once attacked a few days old calf and cut off one of its ears. Near the riverbed of Damodar and adjoining villages Jungle Cat called as 'Bon Biral' was often found and it used to live on hare, bird, duck etc. The term 'Bagh' is associated with Fishing Cat called as 'Baghrol' in Howrah district which were more common in the delta. During 50's and 60's villagers generally used to call both as 'Baghrol' till next generation started establishing ID.
After seriously reading Shri Sabyasachi, I was thinking why 'Bagh' is one unifying factor for our great country.
Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
