Tiger kills shepherd near Ranthambore National Park
A middle-aged shepherd was killed on Saturday afternoon in an attack by a prowling tiger in the jungles adjoining the Ranthambore National Park.
Tigress T-84 was on Tuesday seen roaming with three cubs at Ranthambore National Park near Sawaimadhopur in Rajasthan. Wildlife experts believe that the cubs are two- to three-month-old caught on camera in a buffer zone.
With the three new arrivals in the reserve, there are 79 big cats including five cubs, Shikhar Agarwal, additional chief secretary of Forest, Environment and Climate Change, told The Statesman.
Tigress T-84, about 10-year-old, was spotted playing with three cubs.
