Baripada, Oct 31: Tigress ‘Yamuna’ brought from Maharashtra preyed on a wild boar last night to satisfy her hunger after she was safely released into an enclosure in the core area of Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district on Monday morning.

“Tigress ‘Yamuna’ has preyed on a wild boar for her food. She is active and healthy,"  STR Field Director Prakash Chand Gogineni said on Thursday.

The two-and-a-half-year-old tigress was brought from Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra.

The tigress was safely released into a soft enclosure of around two hectares in the core area of Similipal at 9.25 am. 

The wild animal will be kept in observation for at least one to two weeks. Later, the tigress will be released into the wild.

The translocation of the tigress was done with the permission of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).
