In Shuklaphanta National Park, Kathe Bears and Houndars have started to be seen regularly. According to the park office, tigers and bears were seen in automatic cameras installed for tiger counting last year.
"The tigers have been seen on the automatic cameras set up for counting, but the number of tigers has not been counted," said Purushottam Wagle, conservation officer of the park, "There has been no separate count and study." He said that they have been appearing regularly in Banke, Bardia and Shukla Complex lately. Kathe bear is also seen in Terai. India's Dudhwa National Park has the highest number of polar bears. It is estimated that it can grow here from the same area.
Lakshmiraj Joshi, the head of Shuklaphanta conservation program of the National Nature Conservation Fund, said that in 2013, hyenas and wild bears were seen in Shuklaphanta National Park. According to him, they were not seen in between. He said that the year 2023 has also started to appear regularly again.
Last year, a hyena was also seen in the cameras placed for tiger counting in Brahmadev Corridor connected with Shuklaphanta National Park. There is no separate study on how many hyenas there are in that area.
'Species diversity is increasing in Shukla, it is very good for us,' said Joshi, the head of the National Nature Conservation Fund's Shukla Phanta Conservation Program, 'All species have their own importance.'

According to the calculation made in 2023, there are more than 2300 elephants in the park.
