Tusker crossing road in Nagarhole
This image of a tusker was created in Nagarhole on 2nd May 2008.
I had parked my Safari on the road side in Nagarhole. This road cuts Nagarhole and goes to Kutta. If you take a left turn you move towards Wynaad (Tholpetta Wildlife Sanctuary).
I saw this tusker in my rear view mirror and immediately got down to watch it. This fellow did something peculiar. He came out of the forest and stopped to look at left and right and then again left and then quickly crossed the road.
It reminded me of my childhood days when my dad used teach me how to cross the road. It also distressing as it means that definitely vehicles are hitting animals in this road. It is a sign of an animal who is aware of the dangers posed by speeding vehicles.
