Assam's flooded Kaziranga National Park has created a buzz on social
media and thrown spotlight on the plight of animals as the state
battles the deluge. The pictures
of the Royal Bengal Tiger on the bed at a shop at Harmoti near Bagori
range of the World Heritage Site along National Highway 37 on Thursday
were widely shared on social media after the Wildlife Trust of India
(WTI) posted it on Twitter.

our vet @samshulwildvet is making plans with #AssamForestDepartment
@kaziranga_ to tranquilise the #tiger", the WTI said.
