Unusual sighting of four horned antelope (Tetraceros quadricornis) at Similipal tiger reserve by camera trap

Abstract

During early 1970s the four-horned Antelope occurred in Similipal in open woodlands along the edge of large Valleys to the south. During a reconnaissance survey in Bachurichara valley in May 1972, two FHAs were seen and in May 1973 five dung-heaps were found. From November 1987 to January 2002 information on Chousingha was collected through different sources. These are from direct observations of Chousingha, observations of their dung heaps and second-hand information made available by staff through their diary.
