Tiger sighted on highway

N. Rahul

HYDERABAD: An unusual phenomenon unfolded on the Hyderabad-Srisailam highway near Farahabad, 150 km from here, a few days ago when a well-grown tiger ran across the road in broad daylight.

The tiger was sighted around 3.30 p.m. by a jeep driver of the Forest Department who was driving past through the stretch with forest on either side. Senior forest officials expressed a surprise that the big cat was noticed at that hour when it was known to rest. They feel the animal might have strayed on to the road in search of water.

A. Shankaran, Divisional Forest Officer (Wildlife), Atchampet, told The Hindu that the tiger could be three to four years old.
