Meanwhile, a male tiger and a tusker were found dead in Nagarahole Tiger Reserve on Friday. Foresters said that the tiger, which seems to be about 10 years, might have died in a territorial fight or due to starvation.
Nagarahole wildlife veterinarian Muzeeb said that the foresters also found the carcass of a tusker in the same forest range. The elephant had been attacked by another tusker and deep wounds were seen all over its body. Foresters suspect that this being the mating season, the two tuskers might have had a fight over a female
