The injured tiger is being treated at the Human-Wildlife Conflict Prevention and Animal Treatment Center in Valparai.
Following an intensive search of the vicinity around Mudis Estate area in Valparai, in Coimbatore district, by the Manampalli and Valparai forest staff, the elusive tiger that had been spotted strolling in broad daylight was finally caught.
Manampalli Wildlife Sanctuary Manikandan had taken pictures of a tiger roaming around in the Mudis Estate on Tuesday afternoon. Following this, the search part of forest staff searched the tea gardens, thorn bushes and dilapidated buildings in the area. Around 6 pm, a leopard was spotted lurking in a bush in the Mudis Estate area. The Anaimalai Tiger Reserve Director, Ganesan and the Coimbatore District Forest Officer, Ramasubramanian rushed to the spot. The anti-hunting guards put on safety equipment and with the help of the net, they managed to ensnare the tiger that was lurking in the bushes.
The staff at the Human-Animal Conflict and Prevention Center in the Rottikadai area were brought to the spot to treat the one-and-a- half-year old female tiger. They were of the opinion that the tiger might have fought with other wild animals and injured its body during a hunt, and hence was unable to eat now. According to Dr. Manoharan and Sukumar, the tiger is now being treated at the Human-Wildlife Conflict Prevention and Animal Treatment Center.
