Tiger and Cub Sighted in Adilabad Villages, Alarming Farmers
A big wild cat called a tiger was seen in fields and near a road in a part of India.
A baby tiger, called a cub, was also seen.
A farmer recorded a video of the cub and shared it online, and many people watched it.
Farmers in the area are worried because they are growing cotton and do not want the tigers to hurt their crops.
Forest workers, called forest officials, are helping.
They told villagers not to put up electric wires or try to catch the tigers.
They are also teaching people in the villages how to stay safe.
The officials think the tigers came from big forests in a nearby state called Maharashtra.
One tiger may have come from a place called Thippeshwar Tiger Reserve.
Another may have come from a place called Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.
An adult tiger and a cub were sighted at different places in the erstwhile Adilabad district, worrying farmers during the cotton crop season.
A farmer recorded a tiger cub moving in agricultural fields at Tamsi (K) village in Bheempur mandal, and the video went viral on social media.
Officials said the cub's mother may also be in the area, possibly having migrated from the Thippeshwar Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra.
An adult tiger was sighted near the roadside at Agarguda village in Penchikalpet mandal, Komaram Bheem Asifabad district.
Forest officials advised villagers not to set up electric wires or attempt hunting and are running awareness programmes in affected areas.
