MYSORE: Even before people could recover from the shock of the death of a large number of elephants in Karnataka at the hands of callous man, the news of the death of a big cat left the wildlife enthusiasts shell-shocked.

A seven-year-old male tiger was found dead by forest staff during routine rounds in the woods in DB Kuppe forest range near Nagarhole on Friday. The body was found when they trailed the foul odour emitting from the body of the dead animal.

According to veterinarians, the animal may have died a couple of days ago since the body has begun decay. Though at prima facie, tiger is suspected to have died of internal fight  with his fellow beast, foul play is not ruled out.

Wildlife personnel told DNA  the body bore deep scratch marks, indicating he had given a tough fight before breathing his last. Nails, skin, bones and teeth, and some other parts of the  animal that are highly priced in the international market were in tact, giving credence to the belief that the tiger has got into a fatal brawl. Post Mortem was conducted by doctors on the spot before cremating the animal.
