Assam’s Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve (KNPTR) saw a somber morning Monday when forest personnel found a dead tiger in the Haranbali Chapori region. Officials believe natural or territorial motives for the majestic predator’s death, which has prompted inquiries and conjecture. Forest officials quickly responded by racing to the scene and finding the dead animal. Initial research points to infighting as a potential reason, which is typical among tigers that aggressively defend their ranges. Old age, however, is another possible element that is being taken into account.
A tiger carcass was discovered in Rani Nangal beat, near the Amangarh and Corbett Tiger Reserve border, on October 8, 2024. The tiger’s cause of death is yet to be determined, but vital samples have been gathered by a team of vets. The forest service is working to determine the cause of the tiger’s death, and senior officials from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand conducted a joint inspection.
A tiger found intact by a patrol crew in Amangarh, India, may have died from illness, according to Divisional Forest Officer Gyan Singh. The carcass was discovered within 10 meters of Amangarh’s boundaries, suggesting the tiger may have wandered from Corbett into the area. The discovery raises concerns about the health and surveillance of tiger populations in the region. Conservationists emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent further losses. The post-mortem results are expected to provide further insight into the tiger’s circumstances.
