In 2017 four big cats have been found dead at almost the exact same spot
It is disturbing that This One area has had 35 Wildlife Deaths since 2016Bhopal a city located in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has recently reported the loss of another tiger, when it found dead, presumably run over by a train.
Since I personally believe there are no coincidences, something strange is afoot since this tiger, brings the 2017 total of four big cats that have been found dead under mysterious circumstances at almost the exact same spot in the past 2 months, additionally it also marks the 35th Big Cat killed in this district of India since the start of 2016. On January 21st, 2017 a tigress — coded T1 was found near the Sarvahi village in Shehdol district. At the time sources claimed that a damaged chain fence around the mid-ghat railway track might be cause for the frequent deaths of this spot. |

Earlier an adult male tiger was hit by a speeding train at this very same spot. The tiger finally succumbed to its injuries after a rescue team has been as of yet inexplicably delayed from reaching the scene of the accident. Another tiger and leopard were also found dead within yards of this latest train track death.
The deadly train tracks run through the Bhopal-Raisen forest, which contains the Ratapani Tiger Sanctuary. Ratapani which has yet to officially be labeled an official 'Tiger reserve' despite receiving the approval from the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) in 2008.
The sanctuary is spread out over an area approximately 350 square miles (900 sq km) in Central India, and recently Ratapani has reported a population of eight breeding tigers in the area.

Ratapani's wildlife is facing pressures from the surrounding area. Illicit felling, grazing by cattle, poaching and encroachment cannot be dismissed out of hand as suspects in contributing to these unnaturally high number of big cat deaths.
Wildlife Planet fails to understand, after 35 big cat deaths in little over a year, why local official cannot determine if these deaths are the result of unfortunate accidents, or something more nefarious.
If these deaths are simply regrettable accidents, then why after over a year has this vulnerability in the fencing that seeming traps these cats from escaping an onrushing train has not been found?
