Bhubaneswar: A day after the forest department found 35 gharial hatchlings in Satkosia gorge, another good news for wildlife lovers and environmentalists came from Similipal tiger reserve.
PCCF (Wildlife) Sushant Nanda posted a photo of two tigers-one pseudo melanitstic and a Royal Bengal Tiger (RBT) moving together in Similpal forest.
The two tigers were captured in trap camera of the forest department showing that the melanistic tiger walking along with the RBT seems like a shadow.
Both the big cats were moving shoulder to shoulder in the Similipal National Park.
“Normal & pseudo melanistic cubs of T18 moving shoulder to shoulder to shoulder inside Simlipal Tiger Reserve. Like a shadow” Nanda wrote on ‘X’ with posting two photos.
