Neelagiri
Kaduva,
the NEW Species
Discovered by Dijo Thomas - Details |
Neelagiri
Kaduva
Neelagiri
Kaduva, at first sight, looks roughly
like a Leopard, with the size of a Tiger.
It is Reddish Brown in colour.
The
NeelagiriKaduva
has the face of a Dog. It has stripes like a Tiger,
[but vauge], with the face of a dog – hence the
name "Patti Kaduva" – meaning “DogTiger”.
It also has dots on its body, making ordinary people
mistake it for a Leopard. [To know the nature of
stripes & dots, please see the pic of the Cub
of NeelagiriKaduva Killed in Neyyar Dam
on 02
Oct 2014.

Paper Presentation:
Dijo
Thomas
presented Scientific Paper on NeelagiriKaduva, the
NEW Species Found by him in 103rd Indian
Science Congress; held at University of Mysore
on 07 Jan 2016 & an
updated paper in 104th Indian
Science Congress; held at SV University,
Tirupathi in
Jan 2017
Total
Confirmed Population: 2 [in Thiruvantahapuram]
+ 3 [in Thrissur]= 5
Population:
NeelagiriKaduva is the Rarest Species in the whole
world , with a confirmed population [by
Dijo Thomas] of initial 4 {now only 2 adults remaining
(possibly) (as 2 cubs were killed by local people
on two different occasions)}, highest probability
of 10 and maximum possibility of only 25-30
[highly unlikely] in the whole world!
Sound:
It growls when angry. { Dijo Thomas has heard it
personally in Neyyar
Dam Thiruvantahapuram
Dist., & in Attappadi, Palakkad Dist,
in 2016 January}
Main Prey:
Dogs { Dijo Thomas thinks that it may eat other
members of Dog Family like Doles, Hyena, wolves
etc., but only the first exists in the same geographical
location as NK in Kerala.} Goats, Cows, Chicken,
Rabbit etc. { Dijo Thomas thinks that it Possibly
eats deer, pigs, sambar deer, wild goats etc. in
the wild}
The
main prey of NeelagiriKaduva
are dogs. It usually is very shy of humans &
stays hidden in forests. They come to human settlements
near forests very rarely, mostly to hunt dogs. Unlike
Leopards, they do not normally attack humans.
The
most interesting feature that fascinated me no ends;
was that after attacking a dog it will put it on
its shoulder and carry the kill to the forests.
There, far away from human settlement only it will
eat them.
Size:
The NEW
Species
is as Big as a Tiger.
The Female is smaller, only 3/4th of the
male. {Both were confirmed by
Dijo Thomas
through Eye witness accounts &
Pug Mark size}
Pug
Mark Size: 12 cm. [A
fully grown adult Tiger's Pug Mark Size: 9 - 14
cm in India]
Colloquial
Names: Patti Kaduva, Naai Puli,
Patti Puli. Naai Kottan, Naai Nari, Kattan
Puli etc
Range:
NeelagiriKaduva
has high Migratory nature. Its range extends
from 100 to 200 Kms aprox.
NeelagiriKaduva
do NOT attack Human beings.
NeelagiriKaduva
is not at all afraid of Human beings. |

First Discovery
of NeelagiriKaduva
by Dijo Thomas
- Neyyar Dam Thiruvantahapuram
Dist., Kerala, India
Date
of Discovery
::
25 Sep 2014
NeelagiriKaduva
killed & ate Goats, Dogs, Rabbits, Chicken etc. It
killed cats, but did not eat them.
The
attack continued for around 15 days.
Pug
Mark Size: 9 cm
Eyewitness:
More than 25 persons, at different occations,
had seen it. Of them, four of them saw it in board day
light. Two of them at noon at different places. A husband
and wife at 6.15 pm less than 50 meters from their house.
[I
have testimonies of some of them on record.]
2.
Second Discovery
of NeelagiriKaduva
by Dijo Thomas - Kanjani,
Thrissur Dist., Kerala India
Date
of Discovery
:: 08 March 2016
NeelagiriKaduva
killed & ate Goats, Dogs, Chicken etc.
It killed cats, but did not eat
them.
The
attack continued for around 2 months. I camped in Kanjani,
during those
2 months, trying to get its Pictures.
Pug
Mark Size: 12 cm
Eyewitness:
More than 18+ persons at different occations
had seen it. Of them, 3 saw it in board day light. [I
have testimonies of some of them on record.].
My
Team & Myself had narrowly missed it many times in
Kanjani, during those
2 months.
As we were searching for NeelagiriKaduva
[NK]
using a torch in night, they sense us much before we are
able to see them, & they move way.
We
were even able to smell it more than 3 times. NeelagiriKaduva
has
a smell similar to that of a Tiger, but more intense.
More
than another 100 + persons have seen
it in the past 15 years, before
2016, in Kanjani-Engandiyoor-Kunnamkulam
belt of Thrissur Dist.
More
than another 50 + persons have seen it
after May 2016, in Kanjani-Engandiyoor-Kunnamkulam
belt of Thrissur Dist.

Channel Reports in a few prominent Indian News Papers / TV Channels
are given here:
1.
The
English Translation of the News Paper Report in Mangalam Daily “Is the Forest Department scared of Neelagiri Kaduva?”, a prominent Kerala
News Paper, and the one Not Afraid to tell the Truth; on 18
February 2016 on the inaction of the Kerala Forest Department
regarding the Search & Conservation of NeelagiriKaduva,
in Malayalam Language
Mangalam
News Paper – Feb 18, 2016.
“Is the Forest Department scared of Neelagiri Kaduva?
Palghat:-
In
spite of Scientifically Proving the existence of a New Species
of wild animal called Neelagiri Kaduva , the Forest Department
seems to be too reluctant to accept it as well as grant permission
to photograph it, complains Activist & Wildlife Conversationalist
Dijo Thomas, who is waiting for the permission since last one
and a half year. Initially, some animal attack instances near
the Neyyar Dam 1 and a half year back was assumed to be Leopard
attacks. But through Scientific study Dijo Thomas proved
that, it is an altogether New Species and belongs to a New Family
too.
Dijo Thomas
says that this is the Eight Big Cat in the world. The finding
of Mr. Dijo Thomas is even without seeing the Third in size
of all Big Cats. More than 25 persons living around the Neyyar
Dam have sighted it on different occations. The photograph of
Neelagiri Kaduva is needed to get this recognized as a new species.
Dijo assumes that this species, which is native to Kerala forest
area, would be maximum of 30 only, in numbers.
Dijo
had found that it once existed in Neyyar Dam, Malampuzha, Wayanad,
Thattekaad etc. One need permission from the Forest Department
to go into the forests to take its photograph. Even though they
orally assured of the permission, they had not given it till
now. In October and December 2014, Dijo had put in requests
for permission to Chief wildlife warden G.HariKumar in.
One need to
spend at least three months in the forest to get the photograph.
A team of 12 persons including Dijo Thomas is ready for that.
Dijo Thomas says that he himself will raise funds for the expenses
incurred in this operation [as the Kerala Forest Dep. Is
Not co-operating]. In spite of all this forest Dept.
has not come forward to grant permission. Dijo says Forest
Dep. is not interested in acknowledging [& conserving] a
new species & they are worried about having to take care
of this new species [& total lack of interest in conservation],
could be the reason behind there laxity to grant permission.
Through the
Discovery of Nilagiri Kaduva; Dijo Thomas have presented before
the science fraternity a New Methodology to identify a New Species
without having directly seen nor having a photographic proof
of the same. Nilagiri
Kaduva has features of both Dog and Cat Families. Looks like
a Leopard on sight. The face resembles a dog. Hence these are
known in many places a Patt Kaduva [DogTiger]. It does not attack
human being, its favorite food is dog meat. It is to catch dogs
that they venture into human habitat. Its claws don’t retract
like Leopards. Dijo proved that the attack in Neyyar Dam was
not by Kazhutha Puli [Hyena], Doles [Jungle Dogs], Forest Migrated
Domestic dog, Jungle Cat or Leopards [These are the only 5 possible wild animals (even
if the remotest possibility is considered), for the attacks
in Neyyar Dam, if you discount PattiKaduva/ NeelagiriKaduva.]
Some months
back public had killed one [Cub of] NilagiriKaduva that had
ventured near the Neyyar dam area. A family had sighted [the]
Nilagiri Kaduva [and its Cub] that had caught a [cat] at their
house in [Neyyar dam]. Dijo wants to protect the remaining number
of this species before they get killed by the people due to
the fear of attacks by them. Dijo also has the records of sighting
instances of this species in Mangalore some 30 Years back.
Forest dept. has not denied the Scientific Finding of Neelagiri Kaduva.
Granting permission to photograph this Species will pave the
way for some Big News for the World.
[to hear about the finding of a New and Rare species.]

Daily 18 February 2016

Report in Back Cover of Kerala Kaumudi Daily, a prominent Kerala News Paper,
on22 Jun 2016 regarding
the finding of NeelagiriKaduva,
in Malayalam Language:
“Is that Unknown Mysterious
Animal a New Species called NeelagiriKaduva?
Thrissur:
The Unknown Mysterious Animal that
had posed a threat by killing & eating domestic animals
for two decades in Thrissur is a New Species called “Neelagiri
Kaduva”, claims a wildlife conversationalist.
Dijo
Thomas from Kottayam asserts that the footprints of the unknown
Mysterious animal obtained from the coastal areas of Chavakad
&Kanjani etc.are those of Neelagiri Kaduva, which is similar
to Leopard in shape, claims Dijo Thomas, who is a native of
Kottayam .He has confirmed that the animal is Neelagiri Kaduva
after detailed examination of footprints obtained from houses
in that area and by its attacking patterns [hunting pattern,
behaviour pattern etc.]
The
findings & explanations of Mr.Dijo Thomas, who had presented
the scientific paper on his research at the 103rd
Indian Science Congress held in Mysore, are:
It
has been found that this particular species had become extinct
about a century ago. It had existed mainly in Kerela.There could
be only a maximum probability of around 30 numbers of Neelagiri
kaduva (in the whole world), in kerela & and along the borders
of Tamil Nadu. Natives of Neyar Dam had killed a cub of Neelagiri
Kaduva years ago [in October 2014].
After
the postmortem was conducted, (four) samples were taken for
DNA test. Later the Forest Department claimed that they were
not able to conduct the DNA test as the chemicals added for
the same was a wrong one [which was a typical cover-up &
fraud conducted by the Forest Department].
At
the same time Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (PCCF) SRI
O.P KALER, of the Forest Department(who is one of the the top
officers the Forest Dept.hirarchy and IFS officer) had approved
the arguments of mine. He tried his level best to obtain permission
for Mr.Dijo Thomas to search the forests to take the photos
of Neelagiri Kaduva.He was totally convinced that it was a New
Species by Features Based –Species Elimination Method. After
arguing on behalf of Mr.Dijo Thomas for about 1year and trying
to persuade the CWW Mr.Hari Kumar to grant permission to him
to conduct the search.Finally, after one year, he was forced
into silence by his superior officer,the Chief Wildlife Warden
(CWW).He finally sadly told Mr.Dijo Thomas that others were
not approving his requests & he was totally helpless to
support Mr.Dijo Thomas any further.
The
Chief Wildlife Warden (G.Harikumar who is also a PCCF &
second in kerela Forest Department hierarchy and the person
responsible to grant permission for the search in the forests
by Dijo Thomas) has not taken any effort or measures to conserve
this highly Rare Species or to include it in the critically
endangered list & protect it.
In
the Indian Science Congress, I had presented a report on the
discovery of Neelagiri Kaduva and the New
Scientific Method to prove that it is a New Species-named Features
Based-Species Elimination Method (FB-SEM).
There are more than 16 factors (variables) and more than
50 Points(Details) in this method. The animals which had even
the remotest possibility to have conducted the attack in Neyyar
Dam were Leopard, Hynea, Dole (wild dog), and Wild Cat &
Dog. However it was proved scientifically that none of these
5 species had conducted that attacks.
Secondly, through the detailed analysis of Attacking Pattern,
Hunting Pattern, Behaviour Pattern,(out of it 4persons including
a husband & wife saw it in daytime) the description of 25
persons who had seen it on different occations in Neyyar Dam;
its pug marks [color , size ,shape etc of Neelagiri Kaduva and
more than 40 other factors]; I had proved that the species in
the Neyyar Dam is not one of the any presently known species
in the world.This is how it was proved that the Unknown Mysterious
animal attacking in Neyyar Dam was a New Species.
At first Forest Department officers & scientists(who co-operate
with them) had claimed that it was a wild cat.(The size of pug
mark of the attacking animal was +9cm + the fact that 100% pug
marks had claws in it.(In a wild cat the pug mark wan’t be visible)
+ many other points proves that it is not a wild cat). Later
they said that it was dog, which became very big (as big as
a Tiger – the pug mark size in thrissur was 12 centimeters)
because it ate chicken waste!!!!!!(Sic). (Now that “finding”
of theirs certainly deserve a Nobel Prize).However it is not
true.
Though I had challenged them many times
(through media, e-mails, my website etc.)For an open debate
(before media in Thrissur Press Club), they have not responded
even once (which shows that they are sure that they will not
be able to disprove my theory or prove their points). Wildlife Conservationists
fear that if efforts are not taken to list them in the Critically
Endangered Species List by the state Forest Department &
Conserve them; they will become totally extinct any moment.
NEELAGIRI KADUVAS have NOT attacked human beings. The main preys of Neelagiri
Kaduva are dogs. They never attacked human beings. Their color
is reddish brown (with faded stripes like that of Tiger). Face
is similar to that of a dog. Their size is equal to that of
Tiger.Footprints measure 12cm (in Thrissur). This is equal to
that of a fully grown Tiger. They climb trees, like a Tiger.
The finding of Mr.Dijo Thomas is that Neelagiri Kaduva
is the common ancestor of Feline (Cat) & Canid (Dog) families.
Thought the villagers living near forests knew about it through
tales told by their parents (and very occational sightings),
they call Neelagiri kaduva by colloquial names of Patti Kaduva,
Naai Puli, Patti Puli etc; no photographs of it exist in the
world.
