The cub of tigress T1 or Avni, that had jumped over the 12-feet high fence of the enclosure installed to rescue it, has been spotted in the camera traps at Pandharkawda, Yavatmal. Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (APCCF) Sunil Limaye said, "The positive development is that the male cub of T1 has been spotted in our camera traps two times in the past three-four days and it appears healthy. It also has killed a buffalo near the area and was eating it."

On Thursday the male cub had killed a goat in compartment number 653 of the forest. Prior to this, an image of the cub was spotted in the camera trap on Wednesday near the enclosure. The forest department (FD) team had also discovered a partly eaten bovine kill around 400 metres away, after which the search for the cub was intensified.
