Odisha seeks approval for second phase of Similipal tiger translocation

Tigers are big wild cats that live in forests in India.

Sometimes the people who look after forests and animals move tigers from one forest to another.

This helps keep the tiger families healthy and strong.

A place called Similipal Tiger Reserve in Odisha already got two girl tigers from another forest called Tadoba.

Now the animal experts want to bring one boy tiger and one girl tiger from central India.

The tigers might come from Maharashtra or Madhya Pradesh.

But before the tigers can travel, the government has to say yes.

The plan is still very new and people are talking about it.

Some important government groups will also help decide.

If everyone agrees, the tigers will get a new home in Similipal.
