Ranthambore, The death of an adult tiger, T-65, in Rajasthan's Ranthambore National Park was confirmed by IVRI's viscera analysis, which revealed that the tiger, Suraj, alias T-65, died of cardiac shock. The medical board of Ranthambore had previously stated the same cause for the death of a tiger on July 6, 2021, when the tiger's carcass was discovered in a waterhole.

After the death of a tiger, numerous concerns arise, which is why the forest department has to know the actual cause of death. As a result, after a tiger's death, the forest department conducts a post-mortem examination, with viscera samples sent to the IVRI (Indian Veterinary Research Institute) in Bareilly for further analysis. In this case, the forest department investigated COVID-19, common poison, parasite, and bacterial illness, among other things.

According to an official, the cadaver of a 10-year-old male tiger was discovered at a waterhole in Khandar range (outside of the tourism sector) of Ranthambore National Park on Tuesday, July 6, 2021.

T-65, also known as Suraj, is a male tiger.

The dead tiger was identified as T-65, a male tiger known as Suraj in Ranthambore National Park, when it was discovered. T-19, aka Krishna, tigress, had his first litter with him. Krishna, the mother, is a well-known tigress in Ranthambore National Park since she is a member of the Machali tigress lineage (T-16).

T-19, Mother Krishna, had her first litter in February 2011. She had three cubs in this litter, one female cub (T-63) and two male cubs (T-64 and T-65). On May 26, 2011, the first litter of T-19 was spotted for the first time in zone no.2.
