Similipal: The Similipal Tiger Reserve in Odisha is set to welcome two new Royal Bengal Tigers from Maharashtra\u2019s Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. This translocation initiative aims to increase the tiger population and enhance genetic diversity within the reserve.<\/p>\n
A special team of forest officials including the Similipal Director, Assistant Director, veterinary doctors, and a rapid response team has flown to Maharashtra\u2019s Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. The two new guests will be translocated from the Tadoba National Park, the largest Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n
Sources said the translocation process will begin after the special team identifies two Tigers to be brought to Similipal. Concerned over a sizeable number of pseudo-melanistic tigers, the Odisha government had earlier written to the National Tiger Conservation Authority to consider introducing female tigers to Similipal.<\/p>\n
Odisha plans to introduce five tigers, three for Debrigarh and two for Similipal, a part of the big cat relocation project. The tigers will be brought from Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for this purpose.<\/p>\n
As per estimation, the Similipal Tiger Reserve currently is home to 28 tigers.<\/p>\n
