Tigress dies in territorial clash in Panna reserve, another grievously injured
#panna #Madhya Pradesh In less than a week, Madhya Pradesh witnessed the second striped cat death as a tigress died in Panna tiger reserve on Friday.
The demise was brought about by a territorial fight among two tigresses which left the second female big cat seriously injured.
PTR deputy director Anupam Sahay said that P-233 and P-234 had a fight inside the reserve in which P-233 died due to injuries. The autopsy of the dead tigress was performed inside the park.
The second tigress involved in the brawl P-234 was seriously injured and was being treated by veterinary experts at the reserve.

It is second tiger death within a week in MP as decomposed body of a tiger was recovered officers inside the Pench tiger reserve a few days ago. The cause of death was not clear in the initial probe.
MP had lost 7 big cats by mid July and the fresh deaths have taken the death toll to 9 this year.
Panna had lost all its big cats by the end of 2009 and tiger population has seen a revival with extensive efforts from the forest department which ensured historic trans-location of tigers in early 2010.
