Ranging, activity and habitat use by tigers in the mangrove forests of the Sundarban
Ranging, activity and habitat use by tigers in the mangrove forests of the Sundarban
The Sundarban of India and Bangladesh (about 6000 km²) are the only mangrove forests inhabited by a sizeable population of tigers. The adjoining area also supports one of the highest human densities and experiences severe human-tiger conflicts. We used GPS-Satellite and VHF radio-collars on 6 (3 males and 3 female) tigers to study their ranging patterns and habitat preference.
