One of Assam’s smallest wildlife sanctuaries could be the newest home of the tiger in the State. Wildlife specialists have the first photographic evidence of a tiger inhabiting the 26.22 sq. km Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary straddling northern Assam’s Baksa and Udalguri districts and bordering Bhutan. The tiger was captured in camera traps during an exercise for more than a month up to May 10. Members of the World Wide Fund for Nature-India (WWF) and officials of the Assam Forest Department had carried out the camera trapping.
