  • Migration Ethology of Dalma Herd and Analysis of the Rationale Behind
    The Beats of Natural Sciences Issue 2 (June) Vol.1(2014) Migration Ethology of Dalma Herd and Analysis of the Rationale Behind Mohua Guha †,a and Anjan Guhab a Department of Zoology, Narasinha Dutt College, Howrah b Divisional Forest Officer, Kharagpur Division, Paschim Medinipur Date of Submission: 15th May, 2014 Date of Acceptance: 11th June, 2014 Abstract Asian elephants of Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary have been migrating to West Bengal each year since 1987. The study of their migration ethology is showing that the biggest tusker leads the migratory herd as it remembers the migration route and each year they are extending their migratory path for utilizing the unexplored resource rich locations as a part of their homerange extension. We studied the behavioural patterns of this increasing population of migratory elephants from Dalma and tried to analyze the reasons behind this movement each year which is causing serious man-animal conflict in West Bengal as they are rampaging the agriculatural crops. Key Words: Asian Elephants, Elephas maximus, social organization, ethology, homerange extension 1. Introduction Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the Order Proboscidea. Elephantidae are the only surviving family of the Order Proboscidea. The Asian elephant, Elephas maximus, are found scattered throughout the South Asia and Southeast Asia1,3. Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the East Singbhum district of Jharkhand in India. The Sanctuary sprawls in the catchment area of Subarnarekha about 40kms from Jamshedpur. The Sanctuary is much favoured by the elephants and the population of elephants at the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary has swelled in the past few years16.
