Captive-Bred Great Indian Bustard Killed by Desert Fox Days After Release in Rajasthan
A six-month-old captive-bred Great Indian Bustard was killed by a desert fox just days after its release into Rajasthan's Desert National Park as part of a conservation program to restore the critically endangered species. The bird's death was confirmed through satellite tracking, prompting wildlife authorities and scientists to review safety protocols before releasing seven more captive-bred bustards. The remaining released birds are under continuous monitoring to support their survival in the wild.
