Goa: Tiger Carcass Found in Mahadayi Forest

Panaji: In the second such incident in the three days, the carcass of a tiger was found in the Mahadayi forest in Goa on Tuesday, a senior Forest official said today.

Four persons from Golavali village in Sattari taluka were taken into custody yesterday, two days after a tiger carcass was found there.

A combing operation has been launched in the Mahadayi forests to find out if there are more carcasses of tigers, the official said. “Both the carcasses are of tigers whose age is below one year.

Both the tiger cubs were caught roaming in the sanctuary along with their mother in a camera trap on December 23,” said Santosh Kumar, Chief Wildlife Warden, Goa.
