MP’s Big Cat Toll Rises To 34 This Yr

The state has lost 32 tigers in the first five months of 2026. Poaching is under control, but electrified fencing outside core areas has emerged as a major threat to the big cat. Adding to worries is the canine distemper virus that killed a tigress and 4 cubs in kanha

A tigress and her last cub have died at kanha Tiger Reserve, bringing the state's tiger death toll to 30 this year. Officials suspect canine distemper virus (CDV) as the cause, potentially spread from domestic dogs. A large-scale sanitization and vaccination operation is underway to prevent further transmission.
