Nagpur, 04 Aug (HS): A

serious incident has come to light from the Chandrapur’s Tadoba-Andhari Tiger

Reserve buffer zone involving the famous tiger “Chhota Matka.” The tiger

sustained severe injuries after a territorial fight with another well-known

tiger called “Brahma.” During the clash, “Brahma” died, and “Chhota Matka”

suffered a deep cut on his leg, causing heavy bleeding.

Following the fight,

the injured tiger was spotted by tourists limping with blood flowing from its

wounded leg. Forest authorities were informed by the visitors. For treatment

and recovery, the tiger has been kept under close observation in his natural

habitat rather than being relocated.

Officials have been

monitoring “Chhota Matka’s” movements to ensure his safety and recovery.

Although there were initial hopes of improvement, recent visuals show the tiger

still struggling to walk, barely managing to place his injured leg on the

ground. His condition indicates he is in a fragile state, and forest teams are

maintaining constant vigilance over his activities.
