Jorhat, Nov. 11: A Royal Bengal tiger carcass was found inside the Kaziranga National Park today, just a day after the recovery of another carcass.

Park sources said guards spotted the carcass of an adult tigress inside thick bushes at Gerakati under Bagori range this morning. There were marks of severe injuries on the carcass, with the stomach pierced badly from an attack, possibly by another wild animal. Sources said the carcass did not seem very old and the animal might have been killed last night or at dawn.

Park authorities suspect that the big cat was killed in a fight with a buffalo as the guards spotted a herd of buffaloes very near to the carcass today.

Bagori ranger Deben Kalita said the tigress seemed to have died from fatal injuries received in the stomach.
