New Delhi: There's good news at the Sariska Tiger Reserve. Two cubs were spotted on Sunday by a camera trap. Sariska lost all its tigers to poaching in 2005. Since then several efforts have been made to breed tigers in the reserve.
The last time a cub was spotted was on August 8 earlier this year. Now with two cubs seen together, the efforts in tiger conservation seems to be paying off.
Since 2008 five tigers were relocated to Sariska from Ranthambore. But they had not been breeding for quite some time. Conservationists said it was because the disturbance in the park had not been reduced.
The Sariska Tiger Reserve now has five adult tigers of which three are females and two are males. With two cubs spotted now, the total number is now up to seven.
