Rhino, tiger found dead in Kaziranga - TOI

GUWAHATI: A rhino and a tiger were found dead in Kaziranga on Wednesday, barely a fortnight after the national park suffered three casualties.
With the latest deaths, the tiger toll has reached 12 since November 2008 while the rhino toll has risen to six this year alone.

The rhino carcass, with its horn missing, was found floating in a water body in the Bagori forest range. "The carcass was a few days old. The horn might have dropped off as the flesh started rotting,'' said Bagori range officer D Kalita. The animal was fished out from near Bimoli camp of Bagori range.
