NEWSLINK: Sumatran Tiger seen roaming in Sriwijaya University's research area

A tiger was reportedly spotted in a research garden area of Sriwijaya University’s (Unsri's) Indralaya campus, Ogan Ilir District, South Sumatra, over the past six days.

A student conducting research in the garden heard the roar of a tiger after which he fled the area and stayed away from the place, M. Umar Harun, the head of the Indralaya Campus' Garden Research, stated here on Thursday.

Harun revealed that another witness was a rubber tree tapper, who spotted an animal, most likely a tiger, in an area near the campus.

Harun stated that the report on the tiger was initially received from the student on Jan 4, 2020, and the second from the rubber tree tapper on Jan 7.

The rubber tapper claimed to see an animal as big as a calf that was striped but since the tappers spotted it from a considerable distance and before sunset, hence it was not quite clear.
