KALPETTA, january 1, 2023

A tigress that triggered panic at Maramala, near Vakery, in the past few days after it entered human habitations was found dead in a private coffee plantation adjacent to the Irulam forest of the Chethalayath forest range under the South Wayanad Forest Division on Saturday morning.

It was spotted in a critical condition at the plantation three days ago. The carcass was found around 8 a.m. on the day during a search for the animal.

Chethalayath forest range officer Abdul Samad said the tigress was about five years old. The animal had suffered a deep wound on its right hind leg. The wound indicated that the big cat was in a critical state after it had fought with a tiger.
