Tiger cub was found abandoned on Kerala-Tamil Nadu border last year
With bad hindlimbs and cloudy eyes, she was too feeble when found abandoned by her mother near a forest temple on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border last year. From that frail 60-day-old tiger cub, Mangala is now ready to learn the basics of survival and hunting skills in the sprawling Periyar Tiger Reserve (PTR), located in the Western Ghats. When International Tiger Day falls on Thursday (July 29), a group of forest personnel, under the aegis of PTR deputy director Sunil Babu, would begin the rewilding process of the female tiger cub in the reserve forest, spread over 777 sq km. The reserve, currently, has 42 tigers.
