Researchers who have radio collared two tigers at the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) situated near Nagpur, hope to collect important scientific data that will highlight some unknown facts about these big cats. Scientist Dr Bilal Habib from Wildlife Institute of India (WII), who had radio collared a female tigress Tara and a male tiger Gabbar last year, aims to study how tigers and tigresses choose their respective preys. Researchers also plan to collar two leopards and dhole (wild dog) in the same area to know how tigers, leopards and dholes move in the same area.
