Relocation process of T-7 to Sariska begins

JAIPUR/ALWAR: It's journey time again for the male tiger T-7 which has been nestling at Bharatpur for sometime now. A team from the Wildlife Trust of India (WII) and the Sariska Tiger Reserve will be arriving at Bharatpur late on Tuesday for relocating the big cat to Sariska. Union forest and environment minister Jairam Ramesh had set February as a deadline for relocation of T-7 during his last visit to the state.

"Relocation of this tiger will be a testing time. It would not be easy to tranquillise the animal as it will not be lured by baits due to easy availability of prey in the area," an official of the state forest department said.
T-7 is roaming about the Keoladeo Bird sanctuary in Bharatpur which has a good prey base, including many cows that were domesticated earlier but are now wild.

It has been a long journey for the male tiger from the national park. Last year, after attacking the then assistant conservator of forest Daulat Singh Shaktawat, who was trying to tranquillise the big cat near the periphery of the park, it strayed away from the area. It first went to the Kailadevi sanctuary and then to Band Baretha. From there, it headed straight for Mathura and after a brief stay there, came back to Bharatpur.

The entire relocation operation will be looked after by field director of Sariska R S Shekhawat and WII's officials Shankar and Mallik.

"Proposals are there to take the tiger from Bharatpur to Sariska inside a cage on a vehicle. The distance between Bharatpur and Sariska is not quite far enough for the use of a helicopter. We have brought cats to Sariska by road in the past. The male tiger ST-5 was brought from Ranthambore to Sariska by this method," the official said.
"It will be a risky operation too as the tiger has a history of attacking people. But there are little options," he said adding, "Last week, the tiger had been moving towards the populated area of Bharatpur. If left there for long, it may stray away to some other places." The Sariska Tiger Reserve currently has four tigers, including a male. This will be the third male tiger to be relocated to Sariska but with the death of ST-1, Sariska will have only two.
