A tragic outbreak of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) at Kanha Tiger Reserve (Madhya Pradesh) has led to the death of tigress T-141 and her four cubs. The unfortunate death of the tigress prompted forest authorities to launch an extensive emergency response and disease containment operation across the reserve’s Sarhi forest range.

According to the forest officials, the tigress and one of her cubs first displayed abnormal behaviour, following which rescue teams and wildlife veterinarians acted swiftly.
