A male tiger cub was found dead in the Dhamokhar Range of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh today.
A leopard is suspected to have killed the cub, which was about two years old, said BTR's joint director Rishi Mishra.
"Our team was patrolling on elephant-back today to keep an eye on the movement of T-43 tigress in Dhamokhar Range when they spotted a leopard holding a tiger cub between its teeth. When the team started following the leopard, it ran away leaving the dead cub behind," Mishra said.
There were injuries on its neck and mouth. It is suspected that the leopard killed it, he added.
On September 25, a two-year-old female tiger cub was found dead in a well at village Milli in the BTR.
