The increasing numbers of Tigers in a relatively small Tiger Reserve of the state – Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve – has coughed up another incident which the conservationists have been talking for a long time. Due to the number of tigers in the reserve being over its carrying limits, the territory of tigers in Ranthambhore is already smaller than tigers in other reserves. However, there has been instances of tigers clashing over territories in Ranthambhore as well, and in one such recent fight, one tiger has died. The dead body of the tiger was found in Indala area of the reserve which is a non-tourism zone. Officials believe that the tiger was killed after a fight as none of its body parts are reported to be missing.
The dead tiger has been identified as T-85, a five-year-old tiger that had shifted its territory to the Indala region of the reserve nearly a year back. “The tiger was found on the track in the Indala region. Forest guards out patrolling the area saw the cat and the information was passed on to senior officials.”
On receiving the information, officials reached the spot and inspected the carcass of the feline. The carcass appeared to be three day old as the flesh had started decomposing,” officials said.
On taking a closer look at the tiger, the officials found that it had few injuries on its neck and other parts of the body. “There were few blood drops near the carcass also. The carcass was recovered and brought to the head quarters where a post mortem was conducted by forest department veterinary doctors,” an official said.
“The viscera has been taken which will be studied to find out the reason for death. The tiger was later cremated,” the official added.
