Where is the Prey

[Sabyasachi Patra]

One normally expects a predator and prey. Without either one of them, this complex chain of ecological relationships would break and would come to an end. Here is the image of an apex predator without its prey. This was an attempt to show that the tiger can't sustain without its prey.

Too often we have been counting or estimating tigers without any thought given to its prey. Unless poaching stops, wilderness areas protected from ubanisation and devastation caused by infrastructural projects, the prey would be decimated. Infact, one can find the prey base to be pretty thin in most of the sanctuaries. No tiger can survive without its prey.

Sharing this image here. No idea whether this image makes any sense to you guys. Look forward to your comments.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
