Roaring cheers: Adult tiger caught on camera-trap in Himachal's national park

Shimla, Feb 22 A fully grown tiger caught on a camera-trap in Himachal Pradesh's 27.88-sq-km Simbalbara National Park, which supports dense Sal forests with grassy landscape and diverse wildlife and bird species, has sent foresters and wildlife conservationists into a tizzy as they say the wild cat was captured for the first time in the state.

The news comes as a major boost for state wildlife wing as elephants are the sporadic visitors to the Simbalbara National Park in the Paonta Valley in Sirmaur district that lies in the Shivalik hills, adjacent to Haryana's Kalesar National Park.
