Large male tigers from India (Videos Only)

@Pckts, while that maybe true for FD of other parks like Panna or Sariska (after local extinction ) or even Satpura (till recently at least ) and Sanjay Dubri, it is not true for reserves which have ample tiger numbers like Kanha and Bandhavgarh.

Last year, a tigress was released into Bandhavgarh after 3-3.5 years of conditioning in the soft enclosure. She was attacked by the resident tigress the day after her release. The FD didn’t try and patch up her wounds. She died a day later. If this was any park when population was dwindling or survival of this one specimen had massive bearing on conservation, they would have likely gone out of their way to protect their “investment” so to speak. 

But, in parks like these with constant churn of tigers, it is left by the FD to nature to do it’s thing as one death won’t destabilize the population. And, if the rehabilitated tiger can’t make it, so be it. That is attitude amongst such parks. There are enough cases to see where rehabilitated tigers they have made the cut. Reply
