Southern western Ghats have max Tiger population

The NTCA has delcared the Nagarhole-Mudhumalai-Bandipur-Wyanad region as the most-populated tiger reserve.

It is worth noting that a highway passing through Bandipur sanctuary was recently shut to night traffic owing to large number of animals being killed in nightime accidents.
