Bandipur: A malnourished sub-adult tiger, engaged in a territorial altercation that resulted in serious injuries and subsequent starvation for over two weeks, died on the outskirts of Bandipur Tiger Reserve yesterday.
The wounded tiger, believed to be around three-year-old, was initially sighted at the farm of Doddakariyayya near the D-Line of the Tiger Reserve in Maddur Colony, bordering the Maddur Range. The big cat had suffered severe injuries on its body and face, indicative of a likely altercation with another tiger within the same territory.
