On Saturday night the forest department shifted a three-year-old male tiger to the core area of Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR). It was transferred to a smaller cage from a larger one in which it was trapped before it was released into the forest.

It was captured the other day after it killed more than 13 cows in the surroundings of Devarsholai in the last nine months.

N Venkatesh Prabhu, district forest officer (DFO), Gudalur Forest Division, explained the capture and shifting process of the tiger named ‘GFDT32’.

“The carcass of a cow which was killed by the tiger a few days ago was kept in a big cage. As expected, the tiger became trapped in the cage in the wee hours of Saturday. The staff came to know about it only on Saturday morning at 8 am.
