Mysore/Mysuru: The wildlife of Karnataka presents a rich tapestry of experiences for both locals and visitors alike. Covering approximately 45 percent of the Western Ghats, the State boasts of national parks, elephant camps, wildlife sanctuaries and expansive forests.
This natural abundance has long been a source of admiration and pride for the residents and at the same time, it is a matter of envy for neighbouring States. In a recent development echoing the sentiment of an old TV commercial that said, ‘Neighbour’s Envy; Owner’s Pride,’ it has been revealed that Andhra Pradesh has shown keen interest in acquiring elephants from Mathigodu and Dubare Elephant Camps.
