Kaziranga National Park Reports Significant Greater Hog Badger Population
A recent scientific assessment using camera-trap data from the All India Tiger Estimation has revealed a significant population of the Greater Hog Badger (Arctonyx collaris) in Assam's Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve. Estimated at a minimum of 55 individuals, this nocturnal, burrowing carnivore is widely distributed across the park's diverse habitats. The study, conducted by Kaziranga's Tiger Cell with conservation partners, highlights Kaziranga as a key habitat for this globally vulnerable species, though further research is needed to refine population estimates.
