In a fresh challenge to Bengal’s tiger reintroduction programme in Buxa, a three-year-old tigress escaped from her 2.2-hectare acclimatisation enclosure on Sunday afternoon. The tigress had been brought from Assam’s Raimona landscape on Nov 3, just four days earlier. Forest officials stated she dug under the fence and headed towards a neighbouring state, marking another setback for the ambitious project.
