Sources said that out of four cubs birthed by the tigress, two died. Forest officials have tracked the tigress and her two remaining cubs with the help of the elephant squad and their activities are being monitored closely.
“It is not exactly clear what the possible reason for the death of the second cub was but starvation may be one of the reasons. The first cub, which died three days ago, had not eaten anything for many days. Mother tigress is also weak,” deputy director of Kanha Tiger Reserve Amita KB said
Camera traps have been placed to monitor tigress and her two remaining cubs. The autopsy report of the first cub is awaited. Notably, as many as 22 tigers have died in the state so far.
