Tiger Kills Animals in Sundarbans Village

Kolkata, March 19 – A tiger sneaked into a village in the Sundarbans forests of West Bengal and killed several animals before it was tranquilized early Friday.

Forest department sources said the tiger entered Sudhangshupur village in South 24 Parganas district Thursday night and killed three cows, some fowls, a goat and a dog.

After villagers alerted the forest department, the tiger took refuge on a tree. Experts fired tranquilizer bullets to sedate the animal.
