Tiger cub found dead

The Tribune

A tiger cub was found dead in the Dhaba Range of forests, located in the Gondpipri tehsil of the district on Friday.

A partially eaten body of a tiger cub was found by a patrol out on routine duty near village Vejgaon in the Dhaba Range under Central Chanda Divison, on Friday afternoon, the Assistant Conservator of Forests Pradeep B. Kottewar said.

"It appears that the tiger cub came under attack by a pack of wild dogs. The cub appears to be around eight months old and it is difficult to ascertain whether it was a male of a female cub, as its hind portion has been eaten away," he said.
