Rare tiger sighting gives hope to Odisha sanctuary looking to house big cats

Rare tiger sighting gives hope to Odisha sanctuary looking to house big cats

What's behind this

Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary’s newest striped visitor, a male Royal Bengal tiger locally called ‘Mahabala Bagha’, has begun to settle in the forest. On Monday late afternoon the tiger entered the sanctuary’s tourism zone, where it was seen by 40 safari tourists. It later moved into the core zone and made its first confirmed kill, hunting a sambar deer. The sightings and the successful hunt suggest the tiger has adapted to the habitat after straying into the protected area in Baragada district.
