After a series of disheartening events, some good news from Sariska Tiger Reserve.

3 cubs were born to tigress ST-10. Finally their rate of reproduction there is picking pace.
A STR team was trekking in the areas near Tal Vraksh range when they heard muffled voices of cubs playing alongside a culvert. The forest officials carefully sneaked in and found the cubs, about 15-days old.

DFO Hemant Gupta said that a few days ago ST-10’s location was found to be static, which had raised the hopes of good news.
“She was under our watch ever since we found that she was pregnant. A special tracking team was following her pugmarks too,” the the official said.

There's been no new translocation to Sariska in years. A male is expected to be moved there by spring 2019.
That'll take the tiger numbers in Sariska to 20. Reply
