Tiger from Rajasthan’s Ranthambore reserve spotted in MP’s Kuno National Park

Hindustan Times  

A tiger from Ranthambore tiger reserve in Rajasthan, who has been roaming around in Madhya Pradesh’s Sheopur forest for the past two months, has entered Kuno National Park, a forest official said on Monday. Around half a dozen tigers from Ranthambore have entered Kuno in the past eight years The male tiger named T-136 has been trying to make its territory in areas near the Chambal river in the Sheopur district since November 2022 and entered Kuno on Sunday, said the official, adding that around half a dozen tigers from Ranthambore have entered Kuno in the past eight years as the latter falls in the green corridor connecting the two wildlife habitats. We have not been able to trace the tiger but cheetahs are under vigilance and are safe.” KNP field director Uttam Sharma ruled out any danger for cheetahs saying that interaction between them is “rare.” “In April, when Pawan had entered the territory of three tigers in Madhav National Park, he sensed the risk and changed his direction. “Our past experience shows that tigers from Ranthambore return to their habitat and not even a single has made Kuno their home,” he said.
