Injured Tiger (IMAGE)
Caption
The Wildlife Conservation Society commends the village of Nidugumba in Karnataka State in southwest India for its swift action to save an injured tiger that had become caught in a barbed wire fence last week. A team of forest rangers and veterinarians arrived and tranquilized the cat and untangled it from the fence. The tigress is now undergoing a close examination at the Mysore Zoo to assess her injuries, age, and health status so that an informed decision can be made about her future.
