Day 4: Predators (not the Arnold Schwarzenegger ones)

The morning safari was in Kundal zone (zone 6) in a gypsy. We reached the zone gates around 7 am and started the safari. First came the blue bulls (nil gai) followed by sambar deer, the favourite food of tigers. Tigers prefer Sambar deer, as these deer have plenty of meat, making them slower and their poor eyesight makes it easier for tigers to prey on them.
