A day after the recovery of a tiger carcass from south Kheri forest division area, the carcass of a tiger cub was recovered this morning from Kishanpur Sanctuary of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR).
While confirming the recovery, Deputy Director of DTR P P Singh told PTI, "the age of the cub is estimated to be about one year."
"The hind portion of the cub was found bitten while several other injury marks were detected on the hind body parts," he said, adding the cub seems to have been killed by another adult tiger in its attempt to dominate over the female tiger.
"The carcass would be sent to Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bareilly to ascertain the exact cause of death," he added.
