Deccan Chronicle

30 Jul 2012

Within a short span of just four days, between July 24 and 28. Three tigresses have died -two of them in Kanha Tiger Reserves and one in Panna in Madhya Pradesh.

A tigress (about 8 to 10 years), which was raising four cubs, was found dead in the Kisli range of Kanha Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh last Tuesday. Three days later a semi-adult tigress died under mysterious circumstances in the Panna Tiger Reserve and a day later on Saturday another tigress was found dead again in the Kisli range of Kanha Tiger Reserves.

According to information recieved here, the forest staff posted at Kanha had rescued three cubs and was looking for the fourth cub born to the tigress that died on July 24.

On Saturday morning a patrolling party spotted another tigress that collapsed before them and died after gasping for breath for some time.
