Udupi, Jul 30: A wild bison was spotted on the verandah of the house belonging to Ravi Kulal at Pergottu of Pilaru Kunjigudde near Shirva on Saturday early in the morning.
The bison went around the house and also went near the well and returned to the forest. Though there is a barbed wire fence around the Pilarukana reserve forest, sometimes a herd of wild bisons enter various farm lands and destroy the crops.
The herd of bisons consists of seven or eight of them and they enter the farm lands at Sooda, Pilaru, Majalabettu, Mittabeetu, Kudrebettu and Gundupade areas on the edge of the reserve forest. Large areas of paddy fields, vegetable farms, plantain and arecanut are destroyed by the herd.
