Sawai madhopur. After the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) got permission to shift tigers from Ranthambore to elsewhere, the process of tiger selection has started in the tiger reserve. The officials are busy in selecting 6 tigers for shifting. According to departmental sources, the process of selection of tigers has been started at Ranthambore at the primary level, but the final decision will be taken later. 

Vagabond tigers will be sent
According to the information received from the forest department, there are about 15 new young-agile tigers in Ranthambore, who are unable to make their territory & their presence remains at the border of the forest. In such a situation, these tigers repeatedly visit the populated areas. The department intends to shift such tigers from Ranthambore. 

Tiger-tigers can be selected from these
Forest officials said that T-97, T-66, T-62, T-99, T-100, T-110, T-79, T-48, T-69, T-96, T-108 in Ranthambore. T-64, T-74 and many other tiger movements also remain around the boundary of the forest. Most of these tigers roam close to the population in the areas like Kundera, Khandar, Faludi etc. Apart from this, tigers T-102, T-107 etc. are also being considered. It is worth mentioning that T-102 and 107 were earlier marked by the department to shift Mukundara, but later T-106 was sent to Mukundra. 

T-64 can be sent to Sariska, T-110 to Mukundara
In light of the skewed sex ratio in Sariska, with only 1 adult dominant male against atleast 8 tigresses, any tigress will not be sent to Sariska at present. Two male tigers will be shifted here. According to sources, an eight-year-old tiger T-64 from Ranthambore can be sent to Sariska. The offspring of the tigress T-19 (Krishna) T-64 were also marked to be sent to Sariska earlier, but later T-75 was sent to Sariska. 

Similarly, tiger T-110 is considered as the first choice of forest department for sending Mukundara. A pair of tigers will be shifted to the Seljar Range of Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve. Out of this, one tiger may be T-110. The main reason for this is that this tiger is not living in Ranthambore but in outer fine forests. He is repeatedly moving towards the forests of Sultanpur. In the past, this tiger was also started in the way to Mukundara, but later this tiger came back to Ranthambore. It is noteworthy that permission for tiger shifting in Seljar has already been given by NTCA.
