Tigers in Pench enclosure to face live feed shortage Oct 2013

Tigers in Pench enclosure to face live feed shortage Oct 2013 | Pench Prakalpa Tigers.

ONE tiger and two tigresses, all of wild origin, kept in an open enclosure in Teerthal Mangi. near Fulzari. the only village in the core area of Pench Tiger Reserve, are now finding short-age of live feed such as deer and blue hull.

Forestmen released three deer in the enclosure two days ago and each big cat killed them. Now, the beasts can pull on the kills till weekend. However, they will then stan facing problems because Forest Department is not getting deer from Ramtek deer park consisting of 31 deer because of strong opposition from social organisations and citizens. They feel that tourists visiting  Ramtek would lose additional attraction of this deer park. It is reliably learnt that Central Zoo Authority has not given approval to this park.
