Madhya Pradesh: Two tiger cubs found dead at Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Umaria

In an appalling incident, two tiger cubs, around 15 days old, were killed by an adult big cat in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR) of Madhya Pradesh, an official said on Sunday.

A patrolling team reached the spot after being informed that an adult tiger has killed two cubs in Kathli beat of Tala area of the reserve on Sunday morning, BTR’s director Vincent Rahim told a news agency.

He said that the initial investigation and examination of the carcasses confirmed that they were killed by an adult tiger.

“The inspection of the spot revealed the presence of the cubs, a tigress and a tiger in the area,” he said. The tiger might have killed the cubs in the process of establishing a territory, he said. The carcasses were disposed of as per the directives of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), he said.

After an investigation and the autopsy report, it has been confirmed that a male tiger has killed the cubs.
