Ailing Tiger Cub Rescued from Odisha Village Near Similipal Tiger Reserve
A tiger cub, estimated to be 7-8 months old and appearing unwell, entered Khaparkhai village near Odisha's Similipal Tiger Reserve, moving between a cattle shed and an unoccupied house over 15 hours. Villagers alerted forest officials, who rescued the cub without using tranquilizers due to its condition. The cub will receive veterinary care and be moved to a larger enclosure within the reserve, with plans to release it back into the wild once fit to hunt independently.
