Dead tigress found in Corbett Park
Corbett
National Park (Uttarakhand): Wildlife officials have
discovered a dead tigress inside the Jim Corbett National
Park in Uttarakhand. The 10-year-old dead tigress was
found near the Ramganga river that flow through the park.
No injuries were sighted on the tigress. Officials are
awaiting a post mortem report to ascertain the actual
cause of the death. "The tigress, aged around 10 years,
was found dead near the river in the Mohanpani area on
Thursday. A team of veterinarians from Pant Nagar has
taken samples of blood and viscera and the real cause
of death would be ascertained only when the reports come
in," said Vinod Kumar Singhal, Director, Corbett National
Park. Many tiger deaths have been reported from Corbett
National Park in recent years. A century ago, there were
about 40,000 tigers in India. Now, there are about 3,700
of them left. Some environment groups, however, put the
number at fewer than 2,000.
