Umaria : Banbai based tigress in the Bandhavgarh reserve gave birth to three cubs very recently. This is the third time when this particular tigress has given birth to cubs in the Bandhavgarh reserve.
It is to be noted that Aamanmala based tigress is still young and healthy. She had been pregnant twice before this. The first cubs born to her on the verge of gaining adulthood and four cubs born after this could not survive for long. The forest department was unable to locate her for the last two months and was guessing that she had gone to some safe zone to give birth to the cubs. Seeing her again with three cubs has given the forest department a breath of relief.
