The population of Ranthambore Tigers increase
- With 86 tigers, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve has become the third most congested habitat for big cats or tigers in India after Corbett National Park and Kaziranga National Park.
- The officials at the RTR said that a dozen of adult tigers have moved to the periphery of the reserve as they do not have any marked territory.
- The reason is the increasing crowd in their habitat.
- As a result, the tigers are moving close to human habitats.
- The Field Director at Ranthambore Reserve stated that since the tigers do not have a marked territory, they have been of concern to the officials.
- The tigers are dominant animals and they don’t let any other feline in their area.
- Mr Yadav says some of the tigers in the periphery area are those who have been pushed out by the stronger tigers.
- It would be dangerous if the tigers moved out of the area.
- They could harm human habitats. A few measures to control the tigers are:
- Directions for monitoring the animals have been issued.
- Installing cameras to keep an eye on the movements of the feline animals.
- Relocating tigers to other reserves is also a suggestion as per the forest officials.

Hello! My name is Nivrithi. I think they should chip the tigers to monitor their movement, or keep rangers armed with tranquilizers watching the tigers 24/7, then if a tiger gets too close to the human habitat, they can be tranquilized and moved.
