A sounder of wild boars

We spotted a sounder of wild boars. The sight of wild boars at the start of a safari is considered good omen for tiger sighting. We had good fortune as a sounder of boars had been waiting for us on the main road at the beginning of our third safari. Wild boars have been known to attack humans, which kept the bikers waiting for road clearance. Wild boars use their sharp protruded canine teeth to tear through the enemy. The fact that Tadoba tiger reserve still has human settlements and continuous interference is not only disheartening but also a source of conflict between man and animal. And all this, when we pledge so much for the safety of the wild life.
