This lioness was disturbed by us but she just stared wide eyed, sneezed and did not attack us. She's not in a cage and 20 ft away from us. The African male lion with her from Tamilnad is aggressive and violent. Shows signs of abuse - so she's generally anxious. www.junglelodges.com Tour director: Nagappa Forest officer: Ramesh Fact file: Spans 250 hectares - 27.5 for animals mainly the big cats. 21 tiger surplus in 1989 now 3 females 6 males as they donated tigers to other sanctuaries. 1989 - Local Panchayat worked for it, Central Zoo Authority jurisdiction now.

The tiger was eventually tranquilised and captured. But rather than condemning the big cat to captivity, the decision was taken to release the animal back into the wild. NDTV travelled to the Bhadra Tiger Reserve to witness the release.

They cannot be let outside the cage as they can leap at some one from 20 ft. Then again we feel they could have bigger prowling areas that are fenced.
