Summary:
As a schoolboy growing up in the spectacular wilderness of southwestern Indias hill country, known as Malenad, I was enchanted by tigers. The many tiger-themed rituals in our Hindu culture fueled my fascination. During the autumn Dasara festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil, for example, muscular Huli Vesha men, their bodies painted in patterns of ochre, white and black, mimicked the cats graceful movements as the dancers moved to the crescendo of drumbeats. It was an electrifying spectacle. But the unfolding reality around me was grim: livestock farmers and sport hunters were killing of the last wild tigers, and loggers were relentlessly felling the rich forests for timber. By the time I was a teenager in the early 1960s, I had given up dreams of ever seeing a tiger in the wild.
"Tracking Tigers" is from the July 1, 2016 issue of Scientific American.
