Human Interaction Spurs Tiger Attack Concerns at Ranthambore

Experts suggest human proximity led to fatal tiger attacks at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Baiting practices near Jogi Mahal, aimed at aiding Tigress Arrowhead and her cubs, may have diminished the cubs' natural wariness of humans. Subsequent attacks have prompted discussions on tiger relocation and wildlife management measures.

The proximity of humans is believed to have spurred a deadly tiger attack in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, wildlife experts claim.

Concerns have been raised about placing bait for Tigress Arrowhead and her offspring near Jogi Mahal, potentially making the cubs accustomed to human presence.

The recent tiger attacks on forest ranger Devendra Chaudhary and a 7-year-old boy have brought further scrutiny. Wildlife experts suggest this could be one of Arrowhead's cubs, now exhibiting bold behavior.

Balendu Singh advocates for reduced human intervention in the reserve, noting that excessive intrusion can mislead tigers into perceiving humans as prey.

Authorities are evaluating relocation strategies for the tiger responsible for the attacks, but the impact on tourism is already being felt.
