Forest officials in Mancherial uncovered a leopard poaching racket in Ootla village, Dandepalli mandal. Three men were arrested for attempting to trade 13 leopard nails.
Despite the arrival of at least two male tigers in Mancherial district, forest officials say tiger breeding may take another two years as the two resident tigresses are yet to attain biological maturity, delaying hopes of cubs in the region
According to the officials, around 11 tigers including cubs were residing in the forests of the district. In addition to that, around four migrant tigers were inhabiting the forests in this region
