Royal Bengal Tigress with Cubs Spotted in Assam-Arunachal Border Forests After Two Decades

Officials from the Jonai forest range in Dhemaji, Assam, have reported the presence of a Royal Bengal tigress with cubs in the riverine areas of Poba reserve forest near the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border after two decades. Recent camera-trap surveys confirmed tiger movement in the adjacent Daying Ering Wildlife Sanctuary. Foresters have alerted local villagers to avoid forest areas and keep cattle away. While male tigers occasionally visit during breeding season, the confirmed presence of a tigress is seen as a positive outcome of conservation efforts and may boost ecotourism.
