A tigress fitted with a radio collar, originally relocated from Bihar to North Bengal, has been observed crossing into Assam, indicating a potential shift in its home range.
A radio‑collared tigress that was moved from Bihar to North Bengal is now seen traversing into Assam, according to wildlife officials. The animal, monitored by the Forest Department, crossed the international border between West Bengal and Assam earlier this week. Conservationists say the movement could reflect changes in prey availability or habitat conditions in the original relocation zone. The tiger’s collar is transmitting data on its location and activity, allowing scientists to track its movements in real time. Officials are monitoring the animal closely to ensure its safety and to study its behavior in the new environment.
