The DNA reports that will determine whether bones recovered at the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) are indeed that of famed tigress Maya (T-15)—which has not been spotted since August—are likely to be received in two to three days, sources told mid-day.
An official from the forest department, requesting anonymity, said, “We are awaiting the DNA analysis report from the National Centre for Biological Sciences
and Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, in Bangalore and Hyderabad respectively. The samples collected from Tadoba shall be matched with known DNA samples of T-15.”
