WII team arrives to join search operation for T1 tigress’ cubs

Date:

A three-member team of Wildlife Institute of India (WII), from Dehradun, has arrived to Pandharkawda on Friday to participate in the search operation for two cubs of T1 tigress. Dr Bilal Habib, Senior Scientist, Department of Animal Ecology & Conservation Biology, WII, is leading the team. The team members will visit the base camp on Saturday morning and then go to the field for operation to search the cubs.

Dr Habib has the data about the tigers moving in Pandharkawda Forest Division, informed reliable sources. This is additional team to the one being led by Veterinary Doctor Pathe from Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali, that arrived at the base camp on Thursday for helping in the combing operation. There are already ten teams with six veterinarians, tranquilizing experts and field staff members engaged in capturing the 11-month-old tiger cubs.

One of the searching teams noticed fresh pug-marks of the cubs near Aajni village on Friday. The cubs were directly sighted by the teams on the night of Wednesday and in the wee hours of Thursday at Vihirgaon and Aajni areas. The cubs were found in sound health condition, which means they themselves hunted small preys to satisfy their hunger after the death of their mother T1 tigress on night of November 2.
