Pantnagar (Uttarakhand):Veterinarians treated a four-year old tigress who was injured in a fight with another animal in the Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand. The tigress is unable to move her lower body and veterinarians suspect a vertebral problem. "The tigress is depressed. When I checked the reflex of the tigress, I saw that the lower portion of her body is not moving. It is possible that she is suffering
from vertebral problem or neurological problem," said J. L. Singh, a veterinarian
in Pantnagar University. "It would be immature to comment anything without treating
her. We are doing our best and would be giving her lifesaving therapy and do the
X-rays later," he added. The tiger population in India is falling to around 1,450
from around 3,700 in 2001-2002.
