The three-month-old cub was killed by an adult tiger in Kallwah core area of the reserve, an official said today.
"The cub was killed yesterday during a fight between its mother and a tiger. The fight between the duo broke out over the eating of tigress' prey," BTR Deputy Director K P Bangar said.
The killed one was among two cubs born to this tigress about three months back.
This was the third case of tiger death reported from the reserve in the last one month.
In a separate incident, the state's oldest leopardess, Rani, died at Gwalior Zoo yesterday. She had been ill for the last few days and had stopped eating food.
Zoo in-charge Pradeep Shrivastava said Rani, born in 1991, was the star attraction of the park. He claimed she was the oldest leopard in the State.
