The report does not make it clear whether his injuries were really incapacitating, and it seems that the solution that logistically was the easiest prevailed.

Just one note that fits all tigers in this situation: without a permanent inept / incapacitating problem, you should never end up in a zoo. It is understood that it is far from protected areas and very close to densely populated areas, but its adaptation in this place was due to the existence of a large number of large prey. Living close to humans and not developing predatory behavior is always very positive .... this tiger has proven to be adapted enough to inhabit any other area. Tigers with such behaviors should be immensely valued, since it is what in the future may be a primary survival factor, that is, ignore people as prey.

True. But if they'd made a collar for him, but aborted the plans on seeing his condition, the issues must have been grave enough!

His weight seems too low for a young-adult terai male as well. Although no further data have been released, i suspect he'd caught a disease...

He was severely injured and young while living in a farming area near the city for 2 months. His claw infection will be treated and he'll be released once he's healed up.
I'd guess he was forced out by older males and was looking for a safe place to recover but just so happened to make his way to a human settlement. Reply
