In another fascinating journey of a big cat, a male tiger born in the Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Yavatmal (southwest of Nagpur) has travelled approximately 500 kilometres to reach the Solapur district, located in southeastern Maharashtra. Sources from the Maharashtra Forest Department told this newspaper that they are closely monitoring the tiger’s movement. Camera traps have been installed in the area where the tiger is currently located to track its further movements. At present, the young male tiger is said to be in Barshi taluka of Solapur district.

According to researchers, the male tiger is the cub of tigress T22 from Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary and was born there in 2022.
