A tiger that was camera-trapped in Toda Reserve Forest under the Bonai Division of Sundargarh reportedly walked over 1000 kilometres to establish its new territory.

According to the Forest Department sources, the big cat has migrated from Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh to Toda Reserve Forest. On its way to Odisha, it has passed through three tiger sanctuaries and corridors of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

It was the Bonai DFO who first informed about this tiger being tracked through camera.

Though it has been in Toda Reserve Forest for a year now, it had not been caught by cameras. After it was camera-trapped, the Tiger cell of NTCA reportedly confirmed its presence.
