The Government had granted him the 'Freedom of the Forests' - a very special privilege in those days. With his diverse abilities he became the first naturalist in India to start daylight photography of tigers in their natural habitat. In 1929 he produced a number of excellent films which he later gifted to the Natural History Museum in London. On 19 April 1955, he passed to the 'Happy Hunting Grounds' at Nyeri in Kenya and was laid to rest next to Lord Baden Powell.
The Corbett National Park is famous the world over as the 'Land of trumpet, roar and song'. In Corbett National Park apart from tigers some of the other cats which can be seen are leopards, jungle cats and leopard cats. Large herds of elephant are also found near Ramganga. |
