Tiger dies of snare wound after fight with porcupine
The Hindu
Incident took place in Bandipur forest
A tiger met with a grizzly death due to grievous wounds caused by a snare laid in the Hediyala subdivision of the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, on Tuesday.
The incident came to light when the forest guards on patrol in the Gendathur beat under the Gundre range, stumbled upon a tiger carcass in an elephant proof trench. On observation it transpired that the tiger was a male, aged around 5 to 6 years.
It had apparently fought and hunted down a porcupine and its quills embedded in the paws and limbs were still intact. It is suspected that the tiger was first incapacitated from hunting in the fight with the porcupine and hence may have moved closer to the forest boundaries and near the EPT to stalk and hunt smaller prey animals.
