A four-year-old male tiger weighing over 200 kg was recorded by a camera trap in the Brahmgaon forest range of Beed district, Maharashtra, after nearly 100 years.
The tiger originated from Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Yavatmal district and left in 2023.
It travelled through Chandrapur, Dharashiv, Latur and Ahilyanagar before reaching Beed.
The tiger, scientifically known as Panthera tigris, is protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
Project Tiger was launched in India in 1973 to conserve tigers and manage their habitats.
