Man-eater
tiger caught in Uttarakhand
Dhikuli
range (Uttarakhand): Forest rangers in Uttarakhand
captured a suspected man-eater tiger, which had strayed
from Jim Corbett National Park and killed a woman. "The
tiger is about 9-10 years old. It's a grown up male tiger.
It's been verified that it's the same tiger that was declared
man-eater recently. The tiger would be released in Nainital
zoo," said VK Singhal, Director, Corbett Tiger Reserve.
Singhal said that the tiger was declared man-eater as
it had killed a woman as well as a horse recently. He
said it was moving in the fringe area and was not scared
of human beings. The tiger had also attacked a motorcycle-borne
youth. As for the animal-man conflict, officials say that
wild cats often stray into villages near forestlands in
search of food and even attack people..
