Survival of dispersed orphaned cubs of tiger in fragmented habitat of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in India

Two orphaned cubs aged 8-10 months of either sex were monitored over a period of one and half years between October 2008-March 2010 in the fragmented landscape of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve (RTR), India. Both animals dispersed out into fragmented landscapes, however the male cub accidently ventured into human habitation and resulted in conflict.
