A White-rumped vulture is being monitored in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu.
The bird was radio-tagged by Bombay Natural History Society in December 2025 at Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra.
It later moved to Karnataka, was treated, and re-released on April 7, 2026, by forest officials.
The vulture was spotted on April 11, 2026, near Moyar village in Nilgiris district, Tamil Nadu.
The effort aims to help the bird adapt and join other vultures in the Mudumalai–Bandipur–Wayanad region.
