Three Trained Elephants Moved to Buxa Tiger Reserve Ahead of Tigress Introduction
Three trained elephants—Sarathi, Vir (Vittala), and Bharat (Bharot)—were relocated from Jaldapara National Park to West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve to support the upcoming introduction of a royal Bengal tigress. The elephants and their mahouts will assist in monitoring the tigress, who is expected to be released in early October. A new elephant camp is being developed at Rajabhatkhawa, and the tigress will be fitted with a radio collar for tracking. Officials emphasize scientific preparation and continuous observation during this rehabilitation project.
