In search of the Beast of Bardia - Telegraph: "Dawn is the perfect time of day in the jungle – strips of dewy light cut through the cool haze before the power of the sun breaks through. Eight feet below me, a couple of hog deer scatter from their resting place under a blanket of pungent-smelling bonmara. We have seen the tracks and we must be getting very close.
The hours tick by and the suspense mounts, but the beast we are tracking seems just out of reach. From my perch on the cushioned howdah I crane for a distant glimpse of the gargantuan creature – but the bush is still thick ahead."
