Sunderbans Prey base survey should be replicated across India
After a tiger was found dead in Sunderbands a few days ago with two cobras in its stomach, wildlife officials in Sunderbans have ordered a survey of prey numbres as per a TOI report today. Officials suspect dwindling prey base to be the reason for the tiger going on to swallow the cobras. Similar counts should be carried out across all forest areas in teh country and scientific mapping shoould be done to gauge populations of fauna to arrive a potential sustainable tiger numbers. It will help govt draw up plans for long terms distribution of tiger populations.
