The two tigresses translocated to low-density zones in Navegaon Nazira Tiger Reserve (NNTR) in eastern Maharashtra earlier this year are thriving, data from their radio collars shows. And one of them has also crossed the border and taken to hunting free-roaming cattle rather than wild animals. 

Despite reservations of the wildlife preservation community, tigresses NT1 and NT2 were radio collared, and the data has revealed intriguing insights. NT1 has travelled 1,458 kms (straight line distance) to reach Madhya Pradesh, while NT2 was happy to settle down in NNTR, roaming 958 kms (straight line distance).
