Jaipur, Oct. 13 -- An ageing male tiger, T-108, has shown signs of recovery after being spotted with facial injuries in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, with forest officials reporting that it has resumed normal movement. Field teams and veterinary personnel continue to monitor its health and behaviour. The injuries raised concerns about a possible territorial clash with another tiger in the reserve's buffer areas. T-108 frequently moves through habitats associated with Zones 6 to 10, where the movements of several tigers may overlap. However, the exact cause of its injuries has not been established. Forest officials said field personnel had been tracking the tiger and assessing its condition since the injuries were observed. Its improved mobility is being viewed as a positive sign, while continued monitoring will help determine whether further veterinary intervention is needed. The incident has drawn attention to the challenges of managing a growing tiger population across Ranthambore's core and buffer habitats. As younger tigers mature and seek territories, encounters with established animals can sometimes lead to aggressive confrontations. Tigers T-34, T-39, T-57, T-42, T-59 and T-13 have also been associated with the wider landscape through their territories or movements. However, the extent of territorial overlap and the involvement of any particular tiger in T-108's injuries remain unconfirmed. Believed to be more than 10 years old, T-108 could face difficulties hunting, defending its territory and competing with younger animals if its injuries prove serious. Forest teams and veterinary personnel are continuing to assess its physical condition and watch for changes in behaviour or mobility....
