Tigress, leopard found dead in Uttarakhand

A full-grown tigress and a leopard were found dead in the Dechauri forest range of Ramnagar in Nainital district.

Bodies of the big cats were yesterday spotted by the forest rangers near a hill during routine patrolling, officials said.

Prima facie, it seems that the two died of a clash among themselves as their vital organs like teeth, bones and skin are intact, they said, adding that the exact cause of their death will come out in the post-mortem report.
