| Deer | Pichandikulam bridge | November 2007, around 6.30pm | Are stags deer? Then AV has deer. "Hirsch = stag Deer = das Reh, der Hirsch" of course, i have seen a spotted Reh, twice; I saw a deer by the Pichandikulam bridge a year ago around 6.30pm ... and i have heard about a Panther around Forcomers .. it seems a guest and an Aurovilian had seen it on two different occasions .... "There used to be deer once upon a time in Utility, when I was staying there. There were only a couple, but one of them was aggressive and used to sneak up and attack you, usually from behind, when walking by yourself through the community. Left you with a bruise!" |
| Monitors (udumbu, warran?) | Certitude | mid-November 2008 | By warran, do you mean monitor lizard (Varanus bengalensis)? I have never heard that term before... In Tamil it is called 'udumbu' Hi priya, he never told me his name,he runs very fast like a crocodile,likes also to sleep lazy in the sun and here I found Varanus indicus rouxi (Indian Monitor Lizard -German : Waran. |
