\"Tigress-107<\/p>\n

The birth of the 2 cubs to tigress-107 at Ranthambore has raised its total tiger population. However, the increase in the number of tigers has caused concern among the park authorities as they believe that the park simply cannot accommodate so many tigers.<\/p>\n

According to a forest official, \u201cAs per a rough estimate, a male tiger requires approximately 25 sq-km and a female about 15 sq-km. At Ranthambore, many young tigers are looking to mark their territories. Natural corridors should be developed for the free movement of these animals.\u201d<\/p>\n
