'Musth' has implications for maintenance in captive elephants as management of these animals is quite cumbersome and involves considerable risk. The present study highlights successful restraint of elephants in musth on three different occasions employing sedative/ analgesics. Effective levels of standing sedation could be achieved using xylazine hydrochloride and ketamine hydrochloride at a dose rate of 0.13 mg/kg and 0.04 mg/kg body weight respectively for immediate restraint. The subsequent actions following sedation till complete recovery from musth events are documented.Keywords

Incidents of wild animals straying into human habitations have increased during the last decade and this poses a challenge to managers in mitigating conflict. One such incident is described in this paper, where a wild male elephant from Rajaji National Park strayed into Haridwar town. Of the various methods commonly employed for managing such situations, chemical restraint proved to be an effective technique for restraining the animal and relocating it into its natural habitat. The paper presents a detailed account of this successful procedure and relocation of the wild elephant in its natural habitat.- Survival of Dispersed Orphaned Cubs of Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) in Fragmented Habitat of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve in India

Two orphaned tigers cubs aged 8-10 months of either sex were monitored over a period of one and half years between October 2008-March 2010 in the fragmented landscape of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve (RTR), India. Both animals dispersed out into fragmented landscapes, however the male cub accidently ventured into human habitation and resulted in conflict. The cub was rescued and rehabilitated in an adjoining forest. The female cub dispersed naturally outside the national park area into Chambal ravines. Both the animals were monitored using camera trap and pugmark based tracking method during the study period. Both tiger cubs adapted well in the human dominated (fragmented) landscape, caused minimal conflict, and survived their first winter and summer till they attained the age of ≥ 24 months. This paper presents the survival of orphaned cubs in fragmented landscape and highlights the importance of translocation as a tool for alleviating conflict.Keywords

The present paper reports population of Kashmir red deer or hangul (Cervus elaphus hanglu) outside Dachigam National Park accentuated by habitat suitability assessment. Study results indicate that hangul is restricted to an effective area of 351.15 Km2 outside Dachigam National Park. The overall mean hangul encounter rate outside Dachigam was 0.043 hangul/kilometer walk. The overall hangul sex ratio outside Dachigam was 11.81 males/100 females and the fawn to female ratio was 5.93 fawn/100 females. The overall hangul density outside Dachigam turned out to be 0.49 hangul/Km2 The isolated hangul population outside Dachigam NP and the fragile habitats therein need immediate attention for their effective management and long term conservation. Overa Wildlife Sanctuary and Shikargah Conservation Reserve are considered the alternate potential reintroduction sites for establishing a second viable hangul population outside Dachigam National Park. There is an urgent need for early initiation of the hangul conservation breeding programme for reintroduction/ repopulating existing good habitats in the hangul relic areas, beginning with the Shikargah-Overa ranges in Udder Valley. Development of a scientific based programme for regulated monitoring ofthese relic hangul populations and to identify ideal corridors to help dispersion of Hangul.Keywords

In felids, mortality caused by dominant males can affect life history characteristics, demography and reproductive success. When a dominant male is removed, an incoming male may kill offspring sired by the previous male to induce the resident female into oestrus. We had the opportunity to observe the infanticide avoidance responses of female tigers (Panthera tigris) to incoming males in the core area of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve (RTR), Rajasthan, during 2008-2010. In one case, following the disappearance of a dominant male tiger (TM-12) from the established territory of a female tiger (TF-13), the female tiger, accompanied by two cubs, immediately moved approximately 20 km away into riverine areas outside the protected area of RTR. In another case, a female (TF-04) died from a battle with a male while defending her cubs. These observations reveal the attempts of female tigers to avoid infanticide. Observations and results from behavioural decisions made by tigers are important to understand the species and the factors that facilitate their conservation.Keywords

Faecal samples have become an important noninvasive source of information in wildlife biology and ecological research. Despite regular use of faeces, there is no universal protocol available for faeces collection and storage to answer various questions in wildlife biology. In this study we collected 1408 faeces from ten different species using a dry sampling approach, and achieved 77.49% and 75.25% success rate in mitochondrial and nuclear marker amplifications respectively. We suggest a universal framework to use the same samples to answer different questions. This protocol provides an easy, quick and cheap option to collect non-invasive samples from species living in different environmental conditions to answer multidisciplinary questions in wildlife biology.Keywords
