Tiger dies of starvation in Corbett
The carcass of the big cat lying along the roadside in the reserve's Sarpduli range was first sighted on Friday by a tourist, who informed authorities, its Director Surendra Mahra said.
The tourist was initially thrilled to catch a glimpse of the tiger but a closer look made it clear that it was dead as it lay motionless with flies swarming over its body, he said.
The tiger had a deep wound on its leg and seems to have died of hunger as it couldn't hunt for prey, he said.
