tiger how do hunters and poachers manage
0:20
to avoid detection by these Keen sensed
0:24
cats tigers are apex predators with
0:28
highly developed senses
0:31
their eyesight is about six times better
0:34
than humans allowing them to see clearly
0:37
in low light condition their hearing is
0:41
acute capable of detecting the slightest
0:45
undergrowth perhaps most impressive is
0:48
their sense of smell which can pick up
0:51
sense from over a kilometer away given
0:54
these sensory advantages hunters and
0:57
poachers have developed various
1:01
detection one primary method is SC
1:04
masking Tigers rely heavily on their
1:07
sense of smell to detect prey and
1:11
Intruders Hunters often use strong

smelling substances like tiger urine
1:17
local plants or commercial scent masking
1:20
sprays to cover their human

odor visual camouflage is another
1:25
crucial tactic Hunters wear clothing

that blends with with the surrounding

environment often incorporating local

vegetation into their

outfits some even create ghilly suits

detection Hunters study tiger habits

learning to recognize signs of recent

Tiger activity and avoiding areas where
2:18
tigers are likely to be present they may
2:21
also use tiger deterrents such as

carrying firecrackers or pepper spray as

resort it is crucial to know

that while these techniques are used by

legal hunters in some regions they are

often employed by poachers engaging in

illegal and highly unethical

activities poaching poses a severe

threat to Tiger populations which are
2:46
already endangered due to habitat loss

conflict the skills used to avoid tiger
2:53
detection highlight the intelligence and
2:55
adaptability of both humans and

tigers however they also underscore the

ongoing struggle to protect these
