Maharashtra: Guatala Autramghat Sanctuary Spots 1st Tiger Since 1940

Maharashtra's Guatala Autramghat Wildlife Sanctuary officials have spotted a tiger in the sanctuary after nearly eight decades of oblivion. Believed to have come from Yavatmal’s Tipeshwar Sanctuary, the tiger was spotted during March 11-15. It is expected to have travelled around 330km from Aurangabad in search of a prey. Interestingly, it was once a native to this region. The Divisional Forest Officer has created seven teams to track the movement of the un-collared big cat.
