The adult was seen in the forests of the Illam district in the east of the country, and the camera was captured twice by the animal protection organization Red Panda Network on November 13 and 21.
“This is the first time that a wild tiger has been seen in Nepal at an altitude of 3,165 meters. So far, it has been the highest in the country with 2,500 meters where it has appeared, ”said Madharu Karki, a staff member of the Ministry of Wildlife Protection.
According to an employee of the animal welfare organization, which otherwise specializes specifically in red pandas rather than tigers, the animal may have migrated higher to expand its hunting ground, but climate change is also a possible cause. .
The Bengal tiger is considered an endangered species.
