19 Nov 24
A
male tiger named Johnny has made a 300 km-long journey from
Maharashtra’s Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary to Telangana, reportedly in
search of a mate. The tiger’s journey, tracked by a radio collar, took
him across forests and agricultural fields, passing through Adilabad
and Nirmal districts.
Johnny, aged between six and eight years, began his trek in the third
week of October from Kinwat taluka in Maharashtra's Nanded district.
Forest officials first spotted him in the forests of Boath mandal in
Adilabad before he travelled through various regions, including
Kuntala, Sarangapur, Mamada, and Pembi mandals in Nirmal district. The
tiger then crossed the Hyderabad-Nagpur NH-44 highway and is currently
believed to be heading toward Tiryani area.
