Stretched along the foot of a high mountain range is the Kookal Wildlife Sanctuary. A slope of the mountain, some foot-hills and a bit of the plains form the sanctuary. It was well-wooded country and sheltered several kinds of wildlife. Kookal was usually green , dark and cool, except in summer when it became rather warm and dry. As the years went by it became warmer and drier. Once during a long and hot summer, drought set in , not only in Kookal but all over the surrounding region. This had never happened before.
