The "man-eater" tiger responsible for the death of a woman in Wayanad district was found dead on Monday morning, after a week-long search operation. The female tiger, believed to be around 4-5 years old, was discovered behind a house in the residential area of Pilakavu. Wildlife officials confirmed the tiger had killed the woman just two days earlier, while she was collecting coffee beans near the forest edge.

In a tragic incident, a 65-year-old man was killed in an attack by wild elephants on Saturday outside the buffer zone of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR) in Madhya Pradesh. The victim, identified as Ramratan Yadav, was reportedly trampled to death while he was answering nature's call in Devra village, as confirmed by Umaria Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Vivek Singh.
