Tiger Cub Dies During Treatment in Kanha Reserve
18 Oct
Summary
- A rescued tiger cub died during treatment at Kanha Tiger Reserve.
- The cub was rescued after injuring a woman in a village settlement.
- Laboratory reports are pending to determine the exact cause of death.
A young tiger cub, rescued earlier this month from the Mohgaon project area, passed away on Sunday while under treatment at Kanha Tiger Reserve's Wildlife Treatment Centre in Mukki range. The cub had been found on October 8th in a vulnerable state after it wandered into Arouli village, causing injuries to a local woman.
Forest Department officials immediately initiated treatment, aiming for the cub's recovery. However, despite continuous veterinary supervision and care for ten days, the cub succumbed to its condition. A post-mortem was performed in accordance with National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) protocols, with biological samples collected for forensic analysis in Jabalpur.
The exact cause of the cub's demise remains undetermined pending laboratory results. Officials ensured all procedures, from rescue to post-mortem and cremation, adhered strictly to established guidelines and protocols.
