The first reports of black tigers, date from 1975 and 1976. A black specimen was shot down. A black tiger skin confiscated in 1992, of unknown origin, probably comes from the Similipal area, and another seized in the area in 1997.

The most famous case dates from 1993. Confronted by a young tigress who was threatening him, in a village near Similipal, a young man shot her. It turned out that this tigress was black. She was examined, photographed and filmed. Her widened stripes, which even met on her belly, made her darker than ordinary tigers. The skin has been preserved.
