A tiger was killed in a territorial fight with another feline in Madhya Pradesh’s Kanha Tiger Reserve, forest sources said on Thursday. The two-and-a-half year old tiger sustained fatal injuries in the territorial fight with another big cat on March 11 in the Kisli range of the reserve, they said.

The young tiger was found abandoned when it was a cub, following which forest officials trained it in a protected environment to kill prey on its own. About five months ago, it was released in the wild after being radio collared by forest officials. — PTI
