Months after astonishing wildlife experts with its extraordinary journey from Maharashtra to Andhra Pradesh, the tiger known as ‘Explorer’ has returned to the Jangareddigudem reserve forest area, once again prompting an intensive search operation by the Forest Department. The animal, which left its birthplace as a wandering sub-adult, has now returned as a fully grown male, apparently determined to establish its territory and find a mate.
