A mystery tigress gives hope to a dying big cat homeland in Chhattisgarh

A tigress has appeared in Udanti-Sitanadi reserve in Chhattisgarh. Forest officials photographed her in January. Her stripe patterns do not match any recorded tigers in India. Scat samples confirmed she is female. Her origins remain unknown. This arrival is significant as the reserve had been losing its tiger population. Conservationists are excited by this potential natural reintroduction.
