Prady: - Hey, boss, don’t make any noise, otherwise, we cannot spot any animal.
Narayan: - Sir, at this time, all the animals becomes thirsty after having their lunch. So, it is better if we start tracking the footprints of the animals from the right side of this jungle. Come to the right side, Sir.
Arindam: - Hey, where is this small muddy path going? I can see a culvert, which has been broken intentionally. Below the culvert, a small stream of water is flowing. Is it a dried-out river?
Narayan: - Sir, this muddy path leads to a tribal village in the dense jungle. Better don’t ask anymore question about this muddy path. This is our secret path. Come to the left side now. Don’t follow that muddy path. It will take you to a village only. You have come here to spot the animals in the jungle, right?
Prady: - Kichu ekta garbarh achey…tor proshno suney hotath oi bhabhe react korchey kano…beshi ei sab gopon raastar byapare prashno korishna…je dike niye jacche…just follow kar.
Arindam: - Hmm….ok….accha, you didn’t tell me what is the name of this stream.
Bhiku: - This is just one of the distributaries of Godavari River. It remains dried for most of the times in a year. That’s why; it is looking like a small stream of water. We will keep walking along this stream to track all the footprints of animals. Look here, it is the footprint of a bison. A herd of it has just passed from here. Come, come, quietly. Look here again; it is the footprint of a deer.
Narayan: - Come to this side, Sir. This is the fresh footprint of a wild boar.
Prady: - Dhaath….all the animals are roaming nearby, but they are hiding themselves inside the dense bushes, because this Bhiku is shouting at the top of his voice intentionally. Hey, Bhiku, please don’t shout yaar. Otherwise, we cannot see any animal.
Bhiku: - Narayan, yeh dono hee pagal hain kya…awaaz naahi karoonga toh kab kaun sa animal peechey se attack kar dega pataa bhi nahi chalega…
Narayan: - Hsssh…Bhiku…something is there inside that bush. Sir, come here…don’t make sound….
Prady: - Arindam, keep your mobile camera ready…We have spotted something inside that bush...Oh! It’s a bison hiding there. Good, at least, we have seen one animal.
Bhiku: - Sir, this is the footprint of Kira …kira….
Arindam: - Kira…what kind of animal is that?
Prady: - Are you talking about long-horned wild goats or about jungle deer? What is he trying to say, I can’t understand. Maybe, Bhiku doesn’t know the English term of the animal ‘Kira’.
Arindam: - Ha ha ha…I have found something inside this jungle. Look at it; this is the lower jaw of an animal.
Narayan: - Sir, this is the jaw of a bison of this forest. Maybe, here it has been hunted by tigers very brutally. Look there, those are the grayish and white colored bones of this hunted bison.
Arindam: - Hey, Prady, I will hold this jaw of bison like a weapon, just click my photo.
Prady: - Ha ha ha…what a photo it is? You are looking like a modern Lord Krishna, with the Sun’s rays at the background.
Bhiku: - Look there, Sir. There is a monkey family on that tree.
Arindam: - dhaath…monkey toh raastey mein hee dekhne ko milta hain…
Narayan: - Sir, just come here…can you recognize this footprint? Just guess it.
Arindam: - Baapre, I have never seen such a big footprint of any animal.
Prady: - Hmm…it is the footprint of a Royal Bengal Tigress.
Narayan: - You are correct, Sir. Just click its photo.
Arindam: - Babah, is there any difference between the footprint of a Royal Bengal Tiger and that of a Tigress?
