A male tiger was found dead on Friday in Kisli range of Kanha Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh.
On receiving information that a wild cat was lying dead near the Magarnala area, forest officials rushed to the spot and found the carcass of a male tiger, Kanha Tiger Reserve’s Field Director JS Chouhan said. The cause behind the death was not yet known, he said. Veterinary experts were called from Jabalpur to carry out the post-mortem of the big cat and to ascertain the cause.
In a separate incident in Kanha Reserve’s buffer zone, a tiger injured a person rearing his domestic animals on Thursday in Narangi village area. When Ghanshyam Yadav was attacked by the tiger, the grazing herd began running helter-skelter and the tiger escaped from the spot, forest sources said.
