The remarkable bond between Saroj Raj Choudhury, Odisha’s legendary forest officer, and Khairi, an orphaned tigress, is a timeless story of compassion and coexistence. In 1974, Khairi was found wounded near the forests of Similipal. It was named after the river on whose banks she was found. Saroj rescued her from further harm, cared for her injuries, and raised her like his own child. Over time, Khairi’s wild instincts softened, and she became a beloved member of his household, sharing an extraordinary friendship built on mutual trust. Their relationship symbolized the possibility of harmony between humans and wildlife, inspiring future conservation efforts. Saroj’s detailed observations of Khairi’s behaviour also enriched wildlife research, making their story a unique blend of love, science, and environmental awareness. #indiantiger #tiger #wildlife #familybond (fb)
