A two-year-old male tiger was discovered dead in the Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India, just a week after being rescued and declared healthy. This incident increases the state's tiger death toll to 28 for the year. The tiger had been captured on April 26 from Tara village, where it was reported to have strayed into human habitation. Field Director Brijendra Srivastava expressed concern over the incident, noting that veterinarians had assessed the tiger's health before its release with a radio collar for tracking. The carcass was found intact near a nullah in the Rampura beat, showing no immediate signs of poaching or injury. Samples have been collected for a postmortem examination to determine the cause of death. Authorities have stated that all protocols were followed, but questions remain about how a monitored tiger could die without triggering an immediate response.
