tTwo more tigresses to be translocated in Panna reserve

Bhopal, Oct 6 (PTI) Two more tigresses will be translocated in Madhya Pradesh's Panna Tiger Reserve in November, an official said today. "Two more tigresses from Kanha will translocated in Panna next month," Panna Reserve Field Director R S Murthy told PTI. "These felines are semi-wild given that they were reared by humans as their mother died shortly after giving birth," he said. The tigresses are aged five to six years, Murthy said. Two translocated tigresses and one tiger are already in the wild of Panna, an area spread over 543 sq km in eastern Madhya Pradesh. The tigresses, one from Bandhavgarh and another from Kanha Tiger Reserve, were moved in Panna on March 6 and March 9 last year, after the park became devoid of the striped animal population. A tiger from Pench reserve was put in the wild of Panna on November 14 last year. A translocated tigress in Panna gave birth to four cubs in April.
