Jhargram (West Bengal): Fresh pugmarks of a big cat have been spotted near a forest along the Jharkhand-West Bengal state border. The pugmarks, ascertained by forest officials as that of a tigress, were spotted near Dainmara forest in Jharkhand's Ghatsila on Sunday.
The tigress had also injured a cow not far from where her pugmarks were spotted, the officials said.
The pugmarks of the same tigress were spotted at two different areas of adjoining Jhargram district in West Bengal earlier this month, a senior forest official said.
