Tiger Moves Toward National Park

A young male tiger is moving towards a big forest called Papikonda National Park.

The tiger was first seen in Telangana and has since moved through different areas, including a place called Dippakayalapadu village.

Forest officials are using special tools like drones and camera traps to watch the tiger's movements.

They have asked people in nearby villages to stay alert and inside their homes for a few more days.

The tiger hasn't hurt any people yet, only animals.

Experts are ready to help if needed, but they don't plan to trap the tiger because it might be dangerous.

The hope is that the tiger will go into the national park and stop causing trouble.

The tiger might be the offspring of a pair that lived in the park in 2023 and is now looking for its own territory.

Forest officials are also setting up many camera traps in the park as part of a big survey to count tigers and other animals.
