Sighting a tiger in the wild is always a thrill! A rogue tigress recently ventured closed to village and accidentally killed a person. This prompted wildlife officials to track its location and turn it back to its territory in the cold winter night of December. You can see in the video that Tigress will often go offroad but will eventually come back to the track. Tigress is aware of people following it, but not afraid enough to hide or run away. Perhaps tigress was new to this area and ventured here accidentally. Finally she decided to leave the road and lights of the vehicle to go deep into the woods.

कोर एरिया से एक राउंड लगाकर जिप्सी गेस्ट हाउस आ चुकी थी। पिछले दिन की सफारी और आज की आधी सफारी पूरी हो चुकी हो थी। आज की सफारी अगले ढाई घंटे में खत्म होने वाली थी। कई बार टाइगर रिजर्व की यात्राओं की तरह इस बार भी बाघ दिखाई देने को लेकर नाउम्मीदी ही थी। लेकिन घने जंगल में घूमने का रोमांच हमेशा बरकरार रहता है। तो एक बार हम फिर निकल पड़े कोर एरिया में। घास के मैदानों से होते हुए छोटे तालाब तक पहुंच गए। वहां सफेद कमल के फूल और तालाब पर पड़ती सूरज की रोशनी। काफी आकर्षक माहौल था। कुछ फोटो क्लिक किए और आगे बढ़ गए। हम जिस रास्ते से आगे बढ़ रहे थे, वह कोर और बफर का बॉर्डर था। पुराने इंद्री गांव का इलाका। अक्सर इस इलाके में बाघ द्वारा अलस्सुबह मवेशियों को मार दिए जाने की घटनाएं सुनाई पड़ती है। तो हमने दाएं-बाएं की जिम्मेदारी बांट ली और आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता आगे बढ़ती जिप्सी पर बैठे-बैठे जंगल पर नजरें जमा...

Madhya Pradesh has lost 290 tigers over the last 19 years but the central Indian state still has more than 675 tigers, including 125 cubs, in the designated reserves and in the wild, a top Forest department official said on Monday. Claiming that the population of tigers has actually "gone up", he said Madhya Pradesh will continue to remain the "tiger state of India". The official said only five per cent of the deaths of big cats had occurred due to poaching or in man-animal conflicts. Most of the deaths of the tigers occurred either in territorial fights or due to natural causes, he added. "Madhya Pradesh has lost 290 tigers so far since 2002," Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Alok Kumar said. However, there are 550 big cats in tiger reserves in Kanha, Ban...
