months, was found in the Kopedabri beat of Kisli Range by the
patrolling staff,” Field Director Kanha National Park H.S. Negi told
IANS.
“The park staff found pug marks of a male tiger near the
spot where the body was found. They also found langurs raising alarm
calls that points to the presence of the tiger in the vicinity,” he
said.
The post-mortem report confirmed that the death was due to attack by another carnivore, another park official said.
