Nanda also noted that water and food security is the key to successful tiger conservation in the country.
“Our tiger reserves are source of water to billions of Indian’s as many major river originates from them. Success of tiger conservation in India is key to our water & food security.Here a family of the big cat enjoying the onset of monsoons. (As received from a colleague),” tweeted Nanda.
Since being shared six hours ago, the clip has garnered more than 9,000 views on Twitter. Netizens were amazed to watch the tigers. Many also wondered if the tigers staying in a group is a rare occurrence.
“Curious to know this. Are our National Parks, Tiger reserves overpopulated? Is the habitat to species ratio increasing too much to sustain? Have seen too many clips where tigers generally known for solitary life living in groups,” commented a Twitter user.
