Dijo
Thomas proves that the attack in Neyyar dam is caused
by a New Species through Species Elimination Method.
Dijo Thomas proves without any doubt that:
1) The animal attacking in Neyyar dam is a New Species.
He also establishes that: 2) The New Species is Patti
Kaduva which became extinct 100 – 150 years before.
Species
Elimination Method.
1. All the persons in Neyyar Dam, 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 dogs &
Leopards. 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 15 persons
at different time had seen it till now.
2. I had personally collected eye witness
account from around 12 people [almost all who have seen
it till Oct 3]. All claims it to be Puli [Leopard].
3. 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 pm less than 50 meters from
their house.
4. All those who saw it says with confidence
that it was a Puli [Leopard], but the color as a shade
of dark Yellow [3 persons] and the rest as brown [reddish
brown]. Leopard is never 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 Patti Kaduva.
5. The behaviour pattern of the wild
animal in Neyyar Dam, is also similar that of Patti
Kaduva.

6.
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 Patti Kaduvas first
reported sighting in Neyyar Dam was in Open Jail, 5 months
back, which had according to jail authorities, around
200 stray dogs.
6.a. Wild cats will never attack dogs, but the reverse
can happen.
7.
On monday, 29 Sep14, an attack took place ~ 100 mts from
where I was sitting, at 11.40 pm.
10 mins before the attack, we saw a group of 7 dogs moving
silently, comming through the road, from the area where
the attack will happen 10 mins later.. They were in a
tight group. This is the typical nature of dogs, when
something that eats them arrives. I told the 6 persons
with me, to be quiet & alert, as the Patti Kaduva
has arrived, & may come after the dogs. If it was
a Feral dog, the country dogs wold not have behaved thus,
it would have as a pack, attacked the Feral dog &
made it run.
8.
Here the mother Patti Kaduva attacked & killed a cat,
while a smaller one, different in color, probably its
cub, attacked an ordinary adult dog, which we saw from
a distance, howling & escaping for its dear life.
Now a dogs pub will never be able to attack a full grown
dog.
9.
Feral dogs will only hunt as a pack. Especially when it
enters an area packed with local dogs, like in Neyyar
Dam.
The wild animal that is attacking in Neyyar Dam hunts
alone.
10.
Feral dogs wont climb trees. There was evidence of its
clear pug marks on a tree, the highest one which we can
see is about 20 feet high.
11.
The pug marks has claws. Therefore it is clearly not a
Leopard.
12.
The size of pug marks are bigger than a dog almost the
size of a Leopard.
13. Lot of attacks would have taken place on humans by
now, if it were a Leopard.
14.
Usually Feral dogs will avoid an area with high density
of local dogs, like Neyyar dam.
15. I have also observed the fact that Feral dogs will
attack the same area, mostly 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.
16.
The cub & the mother {of the unknown animals}, were
attacked by locals, & the cub was killed in Neyyar
dam on 2 Oct 2014 has stripes like a Tiger with the face
of a dog – therefore it is not clearly not a Leopard.
17.
The cub, which is 5 months old, which still has its milk
tooth, is as big as a fully grown dog.
18.
The cub killed by locals in Neyyar dam has stripes like
a Tiger with the face of a dog – hence the name Patti
Kaduva – meaning “DogTiger”.
There
are only 5 possibilities for the attacks in Neyyar
Dam, if u discount Patti Kaduva. They are Doles
[Wild dogs], Heyna, Wild cats, Feral Dogs &
Leopard.
First two (Doles [Wild dogs] & Heyna) possibilities
can easily be discarded due to multiple reasons.
Wild Cats: This possibility can be discarded due
to 1, 2, 3, 4, 6a & 7 of above reasoning.
Feral
Dogs: This possibility can be discarded due to
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 & 15 of
above reasoning.
Leopard:
This possibility can be discarded due to 4, 11,
13 & 16 of above reasoning.
This shows an interesting fact. Among the above
animals the most similarity is with Leopard, if
we analyse the 15 points or factors.
There is no identified animal with the features
stated by locals of Neyyar Dam.All the above points
to the fact that the above wild animal is nothing
known till now.
Therefore it clearly shows that it is a new species.

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.
The
answer may be that
1. It is a highly elusive animal
2. Even 100 years back Patti Kaduva was very rare
3. It became extinct from almost all places that it lived
almost 100 years back
4. To be very frank, probably there may not be much Wild
life Experts going around forests & after Wildlife
as I do, with such a rigorous passion
