Tiger of the River
<p>Often called the ‘Tiger of the River’, the humpback mahseer<em>Tor remadevii</em> is now found only in fragmented river stretches of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, with the Moyar serving as one of its last strongholds. Seeking refuge in the rocky pools of the Moyar, this Critically Endangered giant was once celebrated by anglers as one of the “largest and hardest-fighting freshwater fish in the world”, but it currently stands on the brink of extinction.</p>
