A serious incident has come to light from the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve buffer zone involving the famous tiger known as “Chhota Matka.” The tiger sustained severe injuries after a territorial fight with another well-known tiger called “Brahma.” During the clash, “Brahma” died, and “Chhota Matka” suffered a deep cut on his leg, causing heavy bleeding.
Following the fight, the injured tiger was spotted by tourists limping with blood flowing from his wounded leg. Forest authorities were informed by the visitors. For treatment and recovery, the tiger has been kept under close observation in his natural habitat rather than being relocated.
Officials have been monitoring “Chhota Matka’s” movements to ensure his safety and recovery. Although there were initial hopes of improvement, recent visuals show the tiger still struggling to walk, barely managing to place his injured leg on the ground. His condition indicates he is in a fragile state, and forest teams are maintaining constant vigilance over his activities.
