Dreaded Brahmapuri tigress to be recaptured for attacking locals; to be forever confined in Nagpur
As per Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (Wildlife) Nitin Kakodkar, three-year-old dreaded tigress E1 from Brahmapuri, who was relocated to Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR) on July 1, would soon be recaptured. The decision was taken after E1 killed a man at Dadra village near Dharni on Friday night.
The tigress earlier had also attacked multiple people at Brahmapuri in Chandrapur district. Hence, the tigress would be kept in confinement forever at Gorewada Rescue Centre at Nagpur once recaptured. A rescue team has also been deployed to capture the radio-collared tigress.
As per Indian Express, “E1, who was involved in at least one human death in Brahmapuri prior to her capture, was released in the core area of MTR in Amravati district. Within a week after her release, she attacked a girl at Kekdakheda village outside MTR. On Friday night, around 10 pm, the tigress attacked one Shobharam Chavan, 45, on his farm. Another man, who is believed to have accompanied him to the farm, was also injured in the attack.”

Two men were killed by a mother sloth bear on June 11 after she found her two cubs axed to death inside Ambabarwa Wildlife sanctuary, which is part of Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR).
As per forest officials, the incident occurred at 7:30 am on June 11 in compartment number 357 under Sonala forest range in Akot wildlife division of MTR. A press release by Deputy Conservator of Forest (DCF), MTR, informed that the victims Ashok Gavte (52) and Mana Gavte (42), residents of Nimkhedi village, had illegally ventured deep inside the core area of tiger reserve with an intention of poaching.
Forest officials found two six-to-eight-month-old cubs of the sloth bear lying 15 metres away from the bodies of the men. The cubs had marks of axe injuries on their bodies as per the press release. An official from MTR told TOI: Sloth bears are very protective about their cubs and defend them from any predator, including humans. It is possible that the bear attacked the two after they axed her two cubs to death.

In an unusual case, Nagpur forest department rescued a python, which had got entangled in nylon manjha and was immediately taken to Transit Treatment Centre.
The manjha had got entangled nearly two feet below the snakes mouth. Since the python had consumed a crow earlier, it got rotten and happened to be stuck inside, exactly where the manjha had got entangled.
