Somewhere in the Tadoba Tiger Reserve....

A subadult tiger was killed and a full-grown one was seriously injured after being caught in poachers’ traps in the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) on Thursday. The injured tiger was rescued early Friday morning and shifted to Nagpur for emergency treatment. Forest officers have concluded that Bawariya type jaw traps were used to poach tigers in the Palasgaon range of TATR’s buffer zone. This type of trap is used by Bawariya poachers who hail from Haryana. Anti-poaching experts said though the traps were of Bawariya type, it is likely they were installed by Baheliya poachers, who come from the Katni area of Madhya Pradesh.
