Vanishing stripes: 25 of 75 tigers missing from Ranthambore park

Twenty-five tigers have vanished from Rajasthan’s Ranthambore National Park in the past year, prompting an official inquiry. The disappearances, a steep increase from previous years, have raised concerns about poaching and monitoring lapses. Overpopulation within the park is believed to be exacerbating territorial conflicts and driving tigers out.
