The drought that hit Nilgiris district in the past few months had ravaged the green cover of Masnagudi and nearby forest regions, due to which there was hardly any wildlife presence.

But after heavy continuous rainfall in the past few weeks, Nilgiris is once again lush with greenery, and wildlife is seen returning to the region due to brimming water resources.
