Three new adorable tiger cubs have been spotted in the Sariska Tiger Reserve, nestled in Alwar city in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. The Tigress ST 12 along with her three new offspring was sighted in the Tal Vriksh range of the reserve.
The sanctuary had faced challenges in tiger conservation. In 2005, it had undergone the loss of its entire tiger population due to poaching and other reasons. However, efforts were made to reintroduce tigers into the reserve, and as of that time, there had been some success in increasing the tiger population.
The number of tigers in India has increased from 2,967 in 2018 to 3,682 in 2022, an annual rise of 6 per cent, according to the latest government data released on the International Tiger Day on Saturday.
