Relocated Bengal Tigress Escapes Enclosure Twice, Forest Officials Track Her Movements
A three-year-old Royal Bengal tigress named Dooars Rani, relocated from Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve to West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve, has repeatedly escaped her enclosures. After initially moving over 100 kilometers into Assam and being recaptured, she recently dug a tunnel beneath her concrete enclosure to flee again. Forest officials from West Bengal and Assam are actively tracking her using radio collar signals, with teams including elephants and over 60 personnel involved in the search. Experts suggest her movements may be influenced by mating instincts or habitat preferences.
