Tiger released at Sariska.
Sariska was once a place where people from all over came to see the magnificent beast. At one time Sariska had many Tigers. But sadly due to poaching the tigers vanished from Sariska. According to the reports of 2005 there was not a single big cat [tiger] left in Sariska. I was happy to hear that the tiger will once again roam in the Sariska sanctuary.
Tigress released at Sariska.
In fact on Saurday 28th. June, the first phase of re-establishing the tigers in Sariska was implemented successfully. From among the three male tigers which had been selected, a young male Tiger had been tranquilized, caged and then transported to Sariska. Sanctuary area from Ranthambor Sanctuary by airlifting the cage. The operation was successfully completed by afternoon and the male tiger was roaming in Sariska after a long time. According to the news the tiger has adopted well to the new environment and it has also made its first kill. As is well known tigers are very territorial and so during the initial period the tiger will be kept in an 2 hector enclosure which will be very much alike the original place. When the tiger has completely settled and adopted to the new environment it will be released in the wild. The tiger has been radio collared through which it will be monitored 24 hours. In fact on Friday 4th. July a female tigress was also brought to Sariska and successfully released in another enclosure near the first one. The tigress was selected as a mate for the male tiger and the pair will be released in the wild after a few weeks. Let’s hope and pray that the project for breeding and re-establishing tigers in Sariska Sanctuary is a complete success.
