30 Dec 24
After
wandering through three states and covering 300 km over the last 21
days, the three-year-old tigress that had escaped from Odisha’s
Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) earlier this month was on Sunday sedated
and captured from a forest near Gosaindihi village in West Bengal’s
Bankura district, Chief Wildlife Warden Debal Ray said.
“At around 4.09 pm, Zeenat was successfully sedated and later caged,”
Ray told The Indian Express over the phone. “This was achieved through
hard work and with the contribution of forest officials from both West
Bengal and Odisha,” he said..
