Wandering Tiger Likely in Search of New Home in Mulugu

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: A young male tiger wandering between Mulugu and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts over the past couple of weeks has kindled hope that the forests in Mulugu district, once a former home for resident tigers, may just be able to reclaim that status. The sub-adult male tiger, believed to be around 18 to 20 months of age, or thereabout, is now confirmed to have come into Eturnagaram Wildlife Sanctuary in Mulugu district from the forests of Pamed Wildlife Sanctuary in Chhattisgarh and was its presence was first recorded in the form of pugmarks on the sandy bed of the Godavari river that forms a border between the two states. From then on, it has been moving between Mulug and Bhadradri-Kothagudem districts and is now back in our district,” Mulugu’s District Forest Officer Rahul Jadhav said. “It is our guest now,” Rahul Jadhav said, adding “typically, when a male cub reaches sub-adulthood, its mother drives him away and we believe that this one set out to search for a home of its own.” After its entry into Eturnagaram sanctuary, the tiger wandered off into Manuguru forest in Bhadradri-Kothagudem and is now back in Mulugu and has been going back and forth.
