Mysuru: Six tigers were sighted at the Bandipur Tiger Reserve on the third day of the State-wide tiger census yesterday. Today morning, one striped big cat was sighted near the Tiger Tank.
The carnivore and mega herbivore sign survey taken up as part of All-India Tiger Estimation 2018 saw a surge in both carnivore and herbivore sightings in Bandipur.
