The Maharashtra Forest Department, with support from the Pune-based RESQ Charitable Trust, is making every effort to capture a tiger that travelled from Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Yavatmal to Dharashiv and Solapur districts. Playing a key role in the operation are two trained Weimaraner dogs, Cara and Cody, who are assisting authorities by tracking the tiger’s movements through their exceptional scent detection abilities.

For over a month, the operation has been underway with a team of veterinary and wildlife experts striving to locate and safely capture the tiger. The Wildlife Detection Dogs are proving invaluable, as they help track indirect signs such as scat, territorial markings, and other indicators of the tiger’s presence. This information allows officials to adopt a more strategic approach in their efforts.
