An injured tiger, the first animal which was admitted to the animal hospice and palliative care unit for big cats in the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS) around four months ago, is recovering and may soon be released back into the wild.
The big cat, aged around 12 years, was captured on March 9 from a human settlement at Kalliyottu in the Mananthavady municipality under the North Wayanad Forest Division after it had triggered panic among residents.
