A Royal Bengal Tiger has been found dead adjacent to the Sundarbans mangrove forest in Satkhira.
The body of the large cat was found near the Rajakhali canal in Chunkuri under the Satkhira Range on Saturday evening, said officials.
Assistant Conservator MA Hasan of Sundarban’s West Zone’s Satkhira Range says that fishermen reported to them after spotting the dead tiger.
“The body of the aged tiger is being brought to the range office,” he said.
Hasan said they suspect it died of old age, but samples from the deceased animal would be sent to the forensic lab in Dhaka to find out the exact cause of its death.
