It was just over a month since forest officials seized 12 peacocks from the old city residence of a pet shop owner and slapped cases against him. Sleuths of the anti- poaching squad could not arrest him then, for violation of the Wildlife Act, 1972, by breeding the national bird in captivity. Any action against him now appears quite unlikely.
The assistant conservator of forests (surveillance cell) Kondal Rao has been sent on deputation to Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, whereas the post of forest range officer (anti-poaching) has been lying vacant for over four months. Deputy forest range officer SK Baba Khadir Vali, who led the raid, has been shifted to forest utilisation office. That leaves only two wildlife associates (temporary posts) to enforce the Wildlife Act.
According to sources in the department, the pet shop owner, SA Sohail, who runs Fur and Feathers in Banjara Hills, also had business partnership with Nehru Zoological Park for supply of exotic birds.
Sohail has, according to officials, supplied exotic birds to the zoo and is learnt to have been breeding peacocks, including two pure white peacocks, in the cellar of his house in Mochi Colony, Kalapathar. It is also learnt that those who raided Sohail’s house had come under fire from their bosses and explanation was sought from some in the form of showcause notice. However, the principal chief conservator of forests (wildlife) AV Joseph was unavailable for comments despite repeated attempts.
Officials, based on a tip off, raided Sohail’s residence on May 11 and could not arrest him since he was in Mumbai then. But cases were registered against him under section 9 and 39 of the Wildlife Act, which would get him imprisonment up to 7 years.
“Sohail has come back and is very much in Hyderabad. It is just that no one in the department is showing any interest in following up the case and arrest the offender,” pointed out an official on condition of anonymity.
The anti-poaching squad has been conducting raids and the seizure of 12 peacocks, listed as schedule-1 protected species, was certainly one of their biggest catch till date. Hunting, petting and breeding of any wildlife species listed in schedule I and II can attract imprisonment of three to seven years.

Buddhism is a religion rooted in the ideas of Siddhartha Gautama, and the number of Buddhist followers has grown significantly over the last century. In 1910, researchers reported that Buddhism had a following of approximately 138 million individuals, primarily concentrated throughout Asia. By 2010, that number had reached roughly 495 million, with a larger population size outside of Asia. Between 2000 and 2010, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar were two of the countries with the fastest growth in the practice of Buddhism. Australia also reported that Buddhism was the country's fastest growing religion in terms of percentage, with a growth rate of 79.1% between 1996 and 2001.
Sociologists predict that the global Buddhist population will increase to 511 million by 2030, but then experience a decline over the following 2 decades. These researchers claim that the population will return to its current size by 2050. This decline is expected due to a low birth rate in Buddhist women and an aging population that will not be replaced by younger generations. This change means that the worldwide percentage of Buddhists, which is currently around 7%, will drop to only 5% in 2050, taking global population increase into account. In some countries, however, the population is expected to continue growing. This article discusses the countries expected to have the highest Buddhist population totals by the year 2050.
The Gomati District with its headquarter at Udaipur was created in the year 2012. Udaipur is popularly known as the city of lakes and was the capital of Tripura till 1760 A.D. The city is famous for its Mata Tripura Sundari Temple which is situated about 3 km away from Udaipur at Matabari. The temple is one of the 51 Mahapithasthans of India. The Gomati figures prominently in Tripura’s indigenous folklore, culture, religious rites and ritual so much so that tribal people perform posthumous rites dedicated to their departed near and dear ones on the bank of the river Gomati in the conviction that ablution with the consecrated water of the sacred river will pave the way for ascendance to heaven of their departed dear ones. As part of the administrative reorganisation effected in October last year the Gomati district comprising Udaipur, Amarpur and newly created Karbook subdivisions was created as a truncated version of the erstwhile South Tripura district.Topographically,the Gomati district is marked by lush green and fertile Gomati valleys and the towering Debtamura hill range which straddles Udaipur and Amarpur subdivisions of the district with its exquisite sculptural works carved on panels of the hills.
Udaipur is famous for its many temples and ancient heritage

Udaipur, Tripura’s historic capital, is situated on the banks of the Gomati river. About 53km from Agartala, this small town can be easily accessed via road from the capital city.
Referred to as the ‘Lake City’, the town serves as the headquarters of the Gomati District. Udaipur was the capital of the Manikya kings, till Maharaja Krishna Chandra Manikya Bahadur moved the capital to Agartala.
Formerly known as Rangamati, Udaipur is dotted with many beautiful lakes and ancient temples. The Tripura Sundari Temple is the holiest shrine for the people of this state, while some of the popular lakes, which are frequented by tourists, include Kalyan Sagar, Mahadeb Dighi, Jagannath Dighi, Amar Sagar and Dhani Sagar.
Color patterns vary, with only dark or colored shells or no stripes. They are typically found attached to objects, surfaces, or each other by threads underneath the shells. Although similar in appearance to the quagga mussel, the two species can be easily distinguished. When placed on a surface zebra mussels are stable on their flattened underside while quagga mussels, lacking a flat underside, will fall over.
Die Harnischwelse (Loricariidae) sind eine in Mittel- und Südamerika vorkommende Familie der Ordnung der Welsartigen. Mit mehr als 80 Gattungen, über 820 beschriebenen und geschätzt 700 bis heute unbeschriebenen Arten sind sie die artenreichste Familie der Welsartigen und eine der artenreichsten Fischfamilien überhaupt.
Les Loricariidés (Loricariidae) sont la plus grande famille de poissons-chats (ordre des Siluriformes), avec 1 000[1] espèces connues et de nouvelles espèces décrites chaque année. Les Loricariidés proviennent des eaux douces du Costa Rica, du Panama, et des zones tropicales et subtropicales d'Amérique du Sud. On connaît des Loricariidés dans toutes les eaux douces du Panama à l'Argentine. Ces poissons sont connus pour leur ventouse buccale, et les plaques osseuses couvrant leur corps. Plusieurs genres sont vendus sous le nom de plécos, notamment le Pléco commun, et sont très populaires en aquariophilie. Plusieurs espèces sont connues pour produire des sons de stridulation grâce à leurs épines pectorales[2].
The L-number system is a semi-scientific classification system of catfish based on photographs of shipments of tropical catfish of the family Loricariidae published by the German aquarium magazine DATZ (Die Aquarien- und Terrarienzeitschrift (The Aquarium and Terrarium Magazine)). The first L-number was published in 1988.
Baryancistrus xanthellus (L018, L081, L085, L177, LDA060) er en art av harniskmaller i gruppen Ancistrini. Det er en bunnlevende ferskvannsfisk som finnes i Rio Xingu i Amazonas-vassdraget. Den blir opptil 29,7 cm lang SL[1]. Baryancistrus xanthellus er på grunn av sitt spesielle utseende en populær akvariefisk, og har fram til arten ble beskrevet i 2011 gått under forskjellige L-numre, samt det engelske populærnavnet «gold nugget» eller «golden nugget» i akvariehandelen.
Odontodes, or dermal teeth, are hard structures found on the external surfaces of animals or near internal openings. They consist of a soft pulp cavity surrounded by dentine and covered by a mineralised substance such as enamel, a structure similar to that of teeth.[1] They generally do not have the same function as teeth, and are not replaced the same way teeth are in most fish.[2] In some animals (notably catfish), the presence or size of odontodes can be used in determining the sex.[3]
Hypostomus asperatus[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Tocantins River basin. The species reaches 22.9 cm (9 inches) in standard length and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[2]
Hypostomus subcarinatus is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the coastal drainage basins of eastern Brazil, including the São Francisco River basin. The species reaches 31 cm (12.2 inches) in total length and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[1] Although originally described in 1855, no verifiable scientific record of the species was made until a 2014 survey of an urban lake in downtown Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais collected seven specimens that were later recognized as Hypostomus subcarinatus, leading to a redescription of the species in 2019.[2]
