The cubs have actually been relocated to a veterinary centre
Hyderabad: For 72 hours now, forest officers in Nandyal-Kurnool location of Andhra Pradesh are trying to find a tigress so that they can return her 4 cubs to her.
The cubs, who had actually wandered off into a farming field, were discovered by villagers. They initially moved them to a makeshift shelter to secure them from roaming dogs. Once the forest department was notified, they were relocated to a veterinary centre.
The villagers are now fretted that the tigress, disturbed over losing her cubs, might turn aggressive.
The forest department has actually established trap electronic cameras and a 300-member group is trying to find the tigress. They are said to have actually discovered pug marks and wish to find the huge cat quickly. The tigress might be T-108, forest officers said.
According to forest department authorities, moving the cubs to a zoo is “the last choice”. They wish to reunite them with their mom, hoping that she accepts them and takes them back into the forest.
“Do we rear them for a long time and after that take them to the zoo or have an in-situ sort of enclosure? That needs a great deal of approvals from the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA). The procedure says we require to form a committee headed by the candidate of the chief wildlife warden,” forest officer Shanti Priya Pandey informed news firm PTI.
The officer said they are taking safety measures to guarantee that they do not leave human imprints on the cubs as that might eliminate the imprint of the wild and the tigress might decline them.
Forest officers said they are following to a tee the NTCA’s procedure for dealing with orphaned or abandoned cubs.
According to the forest officer, opportunities of the cubs’ survival are more if they go back to the wild.
