While the Forest Department still hasn’t found Jai — one of the biggest and most beloved tigers of central India who was announced missing last week — some wildlife conservationists say the big cat’s disappearance is not necessarily a wildlife tragedy but a sign that tiger conservation is now a roaring success. According to them, Jai may have moved out of the Umred Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary (UKWS) because there are now several male tigers fighting for limited territory there. But Jai is not just any big cat, he is one of the biggest, argue other experts, who stated that Jai is unlikely to have given up on his territory, since he was the dominant male tiger there.
