DNA Test ! - Invented by Dijo Thomas
Neelagiri Kaduva {Neelagiri Tiger} - A New Species As
Big as Tiger {Pug Mark size = 12cm} Discovered &
Scientifically Proved by Dijo Thomas through F3B-NSPM

Website: www. RareWildlife.org | E-mail: wildlifeconservations@gmail.com
D ijo Thomas – Scientist / Conservationalist / Environment
Protection Activist / Wildlife Researcher / Defence
Analyst / Foreign Affairs Analyst / Strategic Analyst
has Discovered a NEW Species, Neelagiri Kaduva, which
is Critically Endangered [almost ‘Extinct Species’,
for all practical purposes] & also the Rarest Species
in the world {30}; a Big Cat | As Big as Tiger in Size
| a New Family altogether having the features of both
Felines & Canids + Neelagiri Tiger is Most Probabily
be the ancestor of both Feline & Canid Family ;
in Neyyar Dam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.
If we do not take urgent steps to Find & Protect
the New Species Neelagiri Kaduva; which is a Big Cat
as Big as Tiger in the World by Size; it may become
Extinct at any moment
1. 1. Dijo Thomas has Presented a Scientific Paper
on Discovery & Proving of Neelagiri Kaduva through
FB-SEM at 103rd Indian Science Congress {inaugurated
by Hon. PM Nartendra Modi}; held from 03-07 Jan 2016,
at University of Mysore on 07 Jan 2016
2.
3. 2. Dijo Thomas presented the Scientific Paper on
Neelagiri Kaduva, the NEW Species Found by him in 104th
Indian Science Congress; held at SV University, Tirupathi
on 06 Jan 2017
1. First Discovery of Neelagiri Kaduva by Dijo Thomas
- Neyyar Dam Thiruvantahapuram Dist., Kerala
Date of First Discovery :: 25 Sep 2014
Neelagiri Kaduva killed & ate Goats, Dogs, Chicken,
Rabbits etc. It killed cats, but did not eat them.
The attack continued for around 15 days.
Eyewitness: More than 25 + persons, at different occasions,
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.]
Colloquial Names: Patti Kaduva, Naai Puli, Patti Puli,Kattan
Puli, Naai Kottan, Naai Nari etc.
Most of the meaning of these = Dog Tiger or Dog Leopard
Size: The NEW Species is as Big as a Tiger.
The NEW Species found by Dijo Thomas, is the rarest
animal in the world, with a confirmed population [by
Dijo Thomas] of initial 4 {now only 2 remaining (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.
What is F3B-NSPM {Facts, Features, Factors etc. Based
- New Species Scientifically Proving Method}?
Dijo Thomas proves, without any doubt that the attack
in Neyyar dam is caused by a New Species through F3B-NSPM.
There were
1. No pictures of the Unknown Wild Animal attacking
in Neyyar Dam nor
2. No Direct sightings of it by Mr. Dijo Thomas (however
more than 25 + people have seen it there).
3. DNA Test Result was sabotaged by the Kerala Forest
Department & has Not been Released till this moment
. .
Therefore Mr. Dijo Thomas, on 25 Sep 2014 in Neyyar
dam, uses a Novel method devised by himself, for the
First time in the World, named F3B-NSPM; to prove that
the animal attacking there is a New Species. He was
in Neyyar Dam, after NeelagiriKaduva for around 10 days,
while the attack was taking place. On 29Sep2014, he
missed it more than 3 times narrowly & an attack
took place where he predicted it will take place, around
100 meters from he & 8 persons were sitting. He
had also heard its growl that day. [see website for
details].
How is the New Species proved through F3B-NSPM?
There are only 5 possible wild animals (even if the
remotest possibility is considered), for the attacks
in Neyyar Dam, if you discount PattiKaduva/ NeelagiriKaduva.
They are 1. Doles [Wild dogs], 2. Hyenas, 3. Wild cats,
4. Feral Dogs & 5. Leopard [Plus Tiger, Cheetah
, Other Big Cats etc.].
Mr. Dijo Thomas proved that:
1. It was not caused by any of them.
2. There is no identified animal, with the Features,
Color of the Animal, Pugmarks, Behavior Pattern, Attacking
Pattern, Hunting Pattern etc. of the wild animal attacking
in Neyyar Dam, , Anywhere in the World.
All the above points to the fact that the above wild
animal is nothing known till now.
Therefore it clearly Proves that the attacking animal
in Neyyar Dam is a New Species.
-------------------------------------- F3B-NSPM
{Facts, Features, Factors etc. Based - New Species Scientifically
Proving Method}
. F3B-NSPM has been Formulated by Mr. Dijo Thomas
using more than . . . . 40 + . Factors /Variables &
More than . 60 + . points :
Factors / Variables used in FB-SEM:
Behavior Pattern, Attacking Pattern, Hunting Pattern
{etc. of the Mysterious Unknown Attacking Animal (UAA)},
Eye Witness accounts, Color of the Animal, Pug Marks,
Geographic Features & Location, My Expertise with
Wild Animals for the Past 15+ years, Historic Details
I collected about PattiKadva from Manglore to Thiruvananthapuram,
My Observations in the Fields in Neyyar Dam, Tracking
it, Near miss in the Field 3 times on 29 Sep2014, Mr.
Dijo Thoma’s Accurate Prediction of Time & Space
of an attack on 29 Sep2014 – Proving his Methodology
& Conclusion, & that in turn Validating the
Methodology he has used in Neyyar Dam.
Ability of Unusual Stealth displayed by the UAA, Behavior
Pattern, Attacking Pattern, Hunting Pattern, Food Pattern
{with respect to Leopard & other known wild animals},
Possibility Factor, Probability Factor, Eliminating
the Error Factor by Multiple Filtering, Truthful Assessment
of Various Factors, Neutral Assessment, Comparison with
other similar/dissimilar attacks, Historic Data Analysis,
Accurate Analysis of Factors which didn’t Fit to known
wild animal Attacks; Behavior Pattern, Hunting Pattern
of the Cub; Local Adivasi [Tribal] Watchers confirming
to me that their Elders have Seen / Known PattiKaduva/NaaiPuli,
Their Discription of NaaiPuli exactly matching mine
made about 2 hours back on 25 Sep 2014 [Adivasi Watchers
were not present then], Novel Methodology, Psychology
[You may laugh at it-*1], UnOrthodox Approach etc.
FB-SEM was also Formulated using more than 60+ Points.
[Most important 42 + important points are given below]
The experiences of Mr. Dijo Thomas, going after Wild
Elephants, Tigers, Leopards, Gaurs, Deers, Mlaavu (Sambar
Deers) & other wild life helped him to accurately
formulate this Theory.
1. All the persons in Neyyar Dam, without any exception
[100%], who saw the wild animal, calls it a Puli [Leopard].
These people who are very familiar with dogs as well
as Leopards, will not make a mistake between them. Same
as the case with wild cats. One or two may make a mistake,
but it is a far cry if we say all the persons who saw
it made mistake. More than 25+ persons at different
places & time had seen it till now in Neyyar Dam
area (in a duration of around 15 days). Therefore one
can be sure that the animal attacking is a Leopard or
something similar in Shape & Size.
2. I had personally collected eye witness account from
more than 15 + people [almost all who have seen it till
Oct 3]. All [100%] says that it was a Puli [Leopard].
3. Of them, four saw it in board day light, on 3 different
occasions. Two of them at noon at different places.
A husband and wife at 6 pm less than 50 meters from
their house in daylight. Their account will be the most
accurate.
4. Nobody will make a mistake between Dogs & Leopards,
even in poor light conditions at night, as the silhouette
& size of Dogs & Leopards are entirely different.
5. All those who saw it says with finality that it was
a Puli [Leopard], but the color as a shade of dark Yellow
[3 persons] and the rest [~ 16 persons] as brown [reddish
brown]. Very few Leopards only be dark Yellow or reddish
brown. But the color of Patti Kaduva, which I collected
from old persons, as far away places as Idukki, Thattekkad
& Mangalore is brown. All other features are also
similar to that of PattiKaduva.
6. The behavior pattern of the wild animal in Neyyar
Dam, is also similar that of PattiKaduva.
7. A dog will never catch & eat another dog. In
Neyyar Dam area, many attacks on dogs had taken place.
I personally confirmed three of them. Incidentally PattiKaduva’s
first reported sighting in Neyyar Dam was in Open Jail,
5 months back (around April 2014), which had according
to jail authorities, around 200 stray dogs.
8. Wild cats will never attack dogs, but the reverse
can happen.
9. On Monday, 29 Sep14, at around 11.40 pm, I had predicted
that an attack was going to take place immediately.
an attack took place ~ 100 mts from where I was sitting,.
10 minutes before the attack, We saw a group of 7 dogs
moving silently, coming through the road. They were
in a tight group. This is the typical nature of dogs,
when something that eats them arrives. I told the 8
persons with me, to be quiet & alert, as the NeelagiriKaduva
has arrived, & may come after the dogs. If it was
a Feral dog, or something which don’t eat them, the
country dogs would not have behaved thus, it would have
as a pack, attacked the Feral dog & made it run.
10. Here the mother Neelagiri Tiger attacked & killed
a cat, while a smaller one, different in color, its
cub, attacked an ordinary adult dog, which we saw from
a distance, howling & escaping for its dear life.
A dog’s puppy will never be able to attack a full grown
dog. 3 persons in the house, husband, wife & daughter
saw the attack very clearly, taking place just outside
their window.
11. Feral dogs [I am using this term as Dr. Jacob Alexander,
who had done the Postmortem of the cub claims that the
unknown animal killed in Neyyar Dam was a Feral Dog]
/ stray dogs will usually hunt as a pack.
12. Feral dogs won’t climb trees. There was evidence
of its clear pug marks on a tree [see photo], the highest
one which we can see is about 18 feet high.
13. 100% pug marks have claws [Personally verified by
me in more than 4 places in first two days alone - consisting
of more than 50 impressions. + Forest Personnel had
also verified it independeently]. Therefore it is clearly
not a Leopard or cat family.
14. The size of pug marks is Bigger than that of a Leopard
{9 cm – Only largest of leopeard will have 9 cm pug
mark}.
15. Lot of attacks would have taken place on humans
in Neyyar Dam, if it were a Leopard, as Leopards attack
at the slightest provocation, or even without it. Especially
as the attacks had continued for about 15 days.
16. Feral dogs will avoid an area with high density
of local dogs, like in Neyyar dam area, where these
attacks took place.
17. I have also observed the fact that dogs (Semi wild)
will attack the same area, only after a gap of 7 days
or so, as they know human nature. This is not the case
in Neyyar dam, where sometimes even daily attack has
taken place.
18. The mother & the (possible) cub {of the unknown
animals}, were attacked by locals, & the cub was
killed in Neyyar dam on 2 Oct 2014. It has stripes like
a Tiger with the face of a dog – therefore it is not
clearly not a Leopard.
19. The cub ( 60 – 80% chance that it is the cub of
NeelagiriKaduva), which is 5 months old, which still
has its milk tooth (according to Dr.Jacob Alexander),
is as big as a fully grown dog.
20. The cub killed by locals in Neyyar dam has stripes
like a Tiger with the face of a dog – that may be the
reason why it got its the traditional name Patti Kaduva
/ NaaiPuli – meaning “DogTiger”.
21. The Unknown Attacking Animal (UAA) in Neyyar Dam
is a lone hunter.
22. Feral Dogs doesn’t exist in Forest, especially Kerala
forests due to various factors, mainly due to predators
in the forest.
23. A person & his son had seen the mother NeelagiriKaduva
carrying a fully grown dog on her back, with the cub
following. (I have their testimony on record)
24. The reason why people who saw it says that it is
a Leopard- As it won’t come to their mind that it could
be a New Species, they subconsciously equate it with
an animal they know – with max. resemblance.
25. Some even had thrown stones at it or attacked it
with sticks. If it were a Leopard, it would have definitely
attacked them.
26. When attacked by people, the wild animal attacking
in Neyyar Dam (UAA), usually continued at the same speed,
ignoring it totally, on many different occasions. They
had a studied disregard for Human Beings. [If it were
a Leopard, it would have attacked back or hastily fled
the area].
27. The Pug marks of NeelagiriKaduva is different from
any known animal.
28. The nearest similarity for the Pug marks of NeelagiriKaduva
are to that of Tigers.
29. The main differences between Pug marks of NeelagiriKaduva
& Tiger are
1. The distance between palm & fingers.
2. Clear visibility of claws in 100% of pug marks of
NeelagiriKaduva
3. The Paw of the Unknown Animal attacking in Neyyar
Dam is shaped like a Love/Heart sign, with a single
inward depression, towards the centre, at the back side
of the paw. Whereas the paw of a Tiger is shaped roughly
like a Love/Heart sign, with two inward depression towards
the side, at the back side of the paw.
30. NeelagiriKaduva is a “Chase-Hunter”, meaning it
chases and catches a prey as against an “Ambush-Hunter”
31. Leopards do not usually carry prolonged attacks
in villages or countryside. The attack continued for
about 15 days in Neyyar Dam. Till the mother NK and
cub were attacked & the second cub was killed by
people.
32. When Leopards carry attacks in villages/countryside,
they are mostly found out when people search for it,
usually within 2-3 days. In Neyyar Dam, the attacking
Unknown Animal was not found for about 15 days.
33. The Claws in the pug marks of cat family, including
Leopard, will be visible on the surface / soil only
during an attack or when they climb a Steep / Slippary
surface. In the case of the Unknown Animal attacking
in Neyyar Dam:
1. The Claws were clearly visibile in 100% of pug marks.
2. The Claws in the pug marks of the Unknown Animal
were visible in all soil conditions; ranging from wet,
moist to dry, even in (& mostly in) flat surfaces.
This proves without doubt that the Unknown Animal is
not one from the Cat Family (including Leopard).
34. The pug mark size of the Unknown Animal attacking
in Neyyar dam is 9-10 cm, as big as that of a fully
grown adult Tiger.
35. The Unknown Animal attacking in Neyyar Dam has the
features of both Felines & Canids. Meaning it is
a New Family too
36. It closely realeted to the Feline & Canid families
than any other.
37. The pug marks are very different from that of a
Leopard.
38. On 25 Sep 2014, when I first reached Neyyar Dam
[In Nettukaltheri open Jail compound, away in the rubber
plantation, while inspecting the Pug marks & other
signs - something heavy, like a goat or a dog was dragged
towards the water body.
On 25 Sep 2014, when I first reached Neyyar Dam, Thiruvananthapuram:
39. On 25 Sep 2014, when I first reached Neyyar Dam,
Wildlife Warden, Thiruvananthapuram Mr. Sunil Sahadev,
showed me the Pug Marks taken taken by Forest Department,
in Plaster of Paris.
A. It was bigger than that of a Leopard, but different.
B. The Claws were clearly visibile in it.
C. I told him other than two, the wild creature could
most probably be something that nobody has heard of
till now, except very few old persons living near forests;
but that I was almost sure that it was Patti Kaduva.
I was really very very happy as I have been Searching
for it the last 12 years, whether it existed in any
of the forests of Kerala, as the last reported was around
75-100 years ago (that too in remote areas where the
attacks happened & not in Media). Even at that time
it was very rare, and as a result, even Wild life Experts
& Forest Department. didn't know that such a thing
existed, till I told them.
40. About 2 hours after I reached there, in Nettukaltheri
open Jail compound, away in the rubber plantation, in
the presence of about 3o persons, I asked for Local
Adivasi [Tribal] Watchers. When they came, I described
Patti Kaduva & its behavior pattern to them. They
confirmed to me that their Elders / grandparents had
Seen / Known PattiKaduva, which they called NaaiPuli.
The last sighting was about 70 years back.
41. Their Discription of NaaiPuli exactly matching mine
made about 2 hours back on 25 Sep 2014 first to Wildlife
Warden, Thiruvananthapuram Mr. Sunil Sahadev, later
to local MLA A. T. George & others. [These Adivasi
Watchers were not present then]
Observations:
There are only 5 possible wild animals (even the remotest
possibility is considered), for the attacks in Neyyar
Dam, if you discount PattiKaduva/ NeelagiriKaduva.
They are 1. Doles [Wild dogs], 2. Hyenas, 3. Wild cats,
4. Feral Dogs/Dogs & 5. Leopard.
First two (Doles [Wild dogs] & Hyenas [Officially
/ @ Forest Department Hyenas doesn’t exist in Kerala
Forest, but there have been reported sightings in Kasarkode
District – the other end of Kerala, ~600 Km away] possibilities
can easily be discarded due to multiple reasons.
Wild Cats: This possibility can be discarded due to
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 14 + points of FB-Species Elimination
Method.
Feral Dogs: This possibility can be discarded due to
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23
+ points of FB-SEM.
Leopard: This possibility can be discarded due to 5,
13, 15, 18, 24, 25, 26, 37 + points of FB-Species Elimination
Method.
The attacking wild animal had the most similarity with
Leopard & least similarity with Feral Dogs / Dogs.
Inferences & Proof:
There are only 5 possible wild animals (even if the
remotest possibility is considered), for the attacks
in Neyyar Dam, if you discount PattiKaduva/ NeelagiriKaduva.
They are 1. Doles [Wild dogs], 2. Hyenas, 3. Wild cats,
4. Feral Dogs & 5. Leopard.
Mr. Dijo Thomas proved that:
There are only 5 possible wild animals (even if the
remotest possibility is considered), for the attacks
in Neyyar Dam, if you discount Patti Kaduva/ Neelagiri
Kaduva. They are 1. Doles [Wild dogs], 2. Hyenas, 3.
Wild cats, 4. Feral Dogs & 5. Leopard.
Mr. Dijo Thomas proved that:
1. It is not caused by any of them.
2. Description by Eye Witness + My Direct Observations
in the Field of Unknown Attacking Animal in (Neyyar
Dam)
NeelagiriKaduva, at first sight, looks roughly like
a Leopard. It is Reddish Brown in colour. The NeelagiriKaduva
has the face of a Dog. It has stripes like a Tiger with
the face of a dog – hence the name "Patti Kaduva"
– meaning “DogTiger”.
[Note: But for Features Based - Species Elimination
Method (FB-SEM) I am Not taking the face of Neelagiri
Kaduva as that of a Dog, but theoretically, I am assigning
the Unknown Attacking Animal in (Neyyar Dam) (UAA) the
Face of a Leopard, as no one in Neyyar Dam reported
face of Neelagiri Kaduva as that of a Dog, but as a
Leopard.
100% pug marks have claws. The size of pug marks is
Bigger than that of a Leopard [9 + cms].
There is NO identified animal, Anywhere in the World,
with the with the Features, Size, Color of the Animal,
Pugmarks, Behavior Pattern, Attacking Pattern, Hunting
Pattern etc. – Found [Combining] in a Single Animal
– like the wild animal attacking in Neyyar Dam.
All the above points to the fact that the above Unknown
Attacking Animal is nothing known till now.
Therefore it clearly Proves that the Unknown Attacking
Animal in Neyyar Dam is a New Species.
Additional Proof:
Historical Proof: An Additional proof is that, all
the Features of the wild animal attacking in Neyyar
Dam, co-relates nicely with the Historic Details he
collected about PattiKadva from Manglore [Karnataka]
to Thiruvananthapuram [Kerala], over a period of 12
years.
:
Neelagiri Kaduva had been Scientifically Proven by Dijo
Thomas in Multiple Ways
1. F3B-NSPM: Neelagiri Kaduva was Scientifically Proved
by F3B-NSPM, New Scientific Method devised, by him without
1. Photographs or 2. Direct Sighting or 3. DNA Test.
This method has now been approved by the Scientific
Community.
2. Indian Science Congresses: Dijo Thomas presented
Scientific Paper on Neelagiri Kaduva in 103rd Indian
Science Congress 2016; held at University of Mysore
on 07 Jan 2016 & 104th Indian Science Congress 2017
[2 Papers - Neelagiri Kaduva & Raktha Athika – the
Vampire Kangaroo]; held at SV University, Tirupathi
3. Pug Marks: The Pug Mark also was Scientifically
Proved by him
4. Picture of the Cub of Neelagiri Kaduva
5. Eye Witness Accounts
6. Dijo Thomas’s Direct Experiences & Findings
in the Field Tracking Neelagiri Kaduva, in different
Places in the past 4+ years
7. Many Pominent Scientists & Accademitians have
Accepted / Requested him to involve them in his Research
8. Till Date NOBODY have been able to Disprove Dijo’s
Findings, even after 4.5 + Years & 250 + Media Reports.
Additional Proof Not Part of the first F3B-NSPM
2. Second Discovery of NeelagiriKaduva by Dijo Thomas
- Kanjani, Thrissur Dist., Kerala
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.
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.
More than another 50 + persons have seen it in the
past 15 years, in Kanjani – Cvakkad belt of Thrissur
Dist.
All the above Factors points to the fact that the
Neelagiri Kaduva Exists without a Doubt & that it
is a is a New Species.
The details in my Theory + Proof, proved by me through
the Features Based - Species Elimination Method [FB-SEM]
is the Scientific Proof!
The Claws in the pug marks of the Unknown Animal – Photo
by Kerala Forest Department. Note that The Claws are
clearly visibile in the pug marks. [Females pug marks
– much smaller than Males]
Dijo Thomas presenting the Scientific Paper on NeelagiriKaduva,
the NEW Species Found by him in 103rd Indian Science
Congress 03-07 Jan 2016; held at University of Mysore
on 07 Jan 2016
Evidences Outside F3B-NSPM:
Neelagiri Kaduva in Literature:
Two books in Kannada mentions Neelagiri Kaduva. Neelagiri
Kaduva is mentioned by its Kannada name Naai Huli {again
“Dog Tiger” same as Kerala name “Patti Kaduva” “Dog
Tiger”} in well known Jnanapeedom Award Winner Dr. Sivaram
Karant’s book “Prani Prapancha” {Animal World}.
Neelagiri Kaduva is also mentioned in a book written
by a Hunter of Karnataka named Kedampadi Jiddappa in
“Vettai Ninappukalu” {“Memories of a Hunter”}
Both of these Books were mentioned in Report in Middle
Page {second most important page after Front Page} of
Praja Vani, the most prominent News Paper with the Largest
Circulation in Karnataka, on 13 March 2017 regarding
the finding of NeelagiriKaduva, in Kannada Language.

it solved an important puzzle, about a man (KSEB employee)
seeing NK, in which my Team had a first hand experience
in my way of working.

Many ask me the Question Why even Top Wildlife Experts
& the Forest Department didn't know that Patti Kaduva
existed.? They say it is really hard to believe that
no other "Wildlife Expert" knew about it.
