There is panic among the people of the affected area due to the continuous attacks of wolves in Bahraich. From the local people to the forest department and the entire administration, everyone is trying to catch the wolves. A team of experts is trying to find out the pattern and reason of their attacks. Along with this, the hideouts of the wolves are also being searched. Amidst all this, Aaj Tak’s team reached a place where it is claimed that a family of wolves once lived.
Yes, the den of man-eating wolves has been found in Ramuapur village of Bahraich. The den of wolves was found after going about 2 km inside through dense sugarcane fields. Now it is filled with water. This den was six feet deep. Villagers claim that once a whole family of wolves used to live in this den.
Den found in the middle of sugarcane fields
After going about two kilometers through the fields, the den of wolves was seen. Villagers claim that once upon a time, small wolves’ cubs were also seen here. Now these dens are filled with flood water. For a long time, wolves’ cubs have not been seen around, but grown-up wolves are definitely seen. When a long stick was inserted inside the den, the stick went in up to 6 feet.
The den was full of water
This shows that this den of wolves is six feet deep. Now it is filled with flood water and the entire family of the man-eating animal is missing from here. Munja bushes have grown over the den. Villagers use these Munja bushes to make roofs of their houses. The villagers said that it is possible that the children may have died in the flood and now he is taking revenge.
Wolves taking revenge on humans
UP Forest Corporation General Manager Sanjay Pathak told Aaj Tak that wolves have a habit of taking revenge. If someone has harmed their home or their children, they take revenge from humans. In the attacks happening in Bahraich right now, wolves are mostly targeting human children. So far, 8 children have lost their lives in wolf attacks.
Villagers are claiming that the cubs were swept away in the flood
In the Bahraich case, wildlife experts believe that humans must have harmed the wolf cubs in some way. This is why wolves are targeting humans and especially children. Now when a wolf den is being claimed to have been found in Ramuapur and villagers say that the cubs must have died here due to being swept away in the flood waters. In such a situation, wolves are taking revenge on humans for this too.
