Title: After Tigress, Cubs & Monkeys, 20 Peacocks Die in K’taka: Report
The recent spate of mysterious deaths in Karnataka’s Hanumanthapura village has taken a shocking turn, with reports emerging that 20 peacocks were found dead on a farmland. This news comes on the heels of the deaths of a tigress and her four cubs, as well as a group of monkeys, sparking concerns about the possible cause of these unnatural deaths.
According to sources, the peacocks were discovered dead on a farm in Hanumanthapura village, which is located in the Chamrajnagar district of Karnataka. The farm belongs to a local resident, who reportedly found the birds dead on Tuesday morning. The villagers immediately alerted the authorities, who rushed to the scene to inspect the area and collect the carcasses for further examination.
The Karnataka forest minister, Eshwar Khandre, had earlier ordered an investigation into the “unnatural death” of a tigress and her four cubs in Male Mahadeshwara Hills. The minister had stated that the cause of death was not immediately clear, and that an investigation was underway to determine the reason behind the fatalities.
In the latest development, officials have sent the peacocks’ carcasses to the laboratory for examination to determine the cause of death. The results of the examination are yet to be released, but experts believe that the deaths could be linked to the same factor or factors that led to the deaths of the tigress, her cubs, and the monkeys.
The sudden and unprecedented deaths of these animals have sent shockwaves across the state, with many speculating about the possible causes. Some experts believe that the deaths could be linked to a virus or a disease, while others think that it could be the result of human activities, such as poisoning or pollution.
In the context of the tigress and her cubs, the Karnataka forest department had initially suspected that the death could be due to poisoning, although they later clarified that the cause of death was not yet clear. The department had also collected samples from the area for further examination.
The death of the monkeys, which was reported earlier this month, is also a cause for concern. According to reports, the monkeys were found dead in a forest area in Bandipur, which is also located in the Chamrajnagar district. The cause of death was not immediately clear, although experts suspect that it could be linked to a virus or a disease.
The recent spate of deaths has raised questions about the health and well-being of animals in Karnataka. The state is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and any threat to the well-being of these animals can have far-reaching consequences for the entire ecosystem.
In conclusion, the deaths of 20 peacocks in Karnataka’s Hanumanthapura village, following the deaths of a tigress, her cubs, and a group of monkeys, is a shocking and unprecedented development. As the investigation into the cause of death continues, it is essential that the authorities take immediate action to determine the reason behind these fatalities and take steps to prevent any further loss of life.
