Tigers Stray into Settlements Near Ranthambore National Park
Tigers from a national park are wandering into areas where people live.
One tiger, Arrowhead, was found near a village and had to be put to sleep briefly so she could be moved back to a safer area.
This is happening because tigers are finding easy food sources near people, attracting other animals for the tigers to hunt.
Experts say stopping people from feeding the animals is important to keep the tigers in the forest and everyone safe.
The forest department has already tranquilized several tigers in the past.
Tigers from Ranthambore National Park are increasingly entering human areas.
A tigress named Arrowhead was tranquilized near the Sherpur helipad.
The operation to tranquilize Arrowhead took one to one-and-a-half hours.
The Forest Department tranquilized three tigers in the peripheral zones in the past one and a half months.
Experts attribute the issue to an increased prey base and food sources attracting tigers.
