Three baby tiger cubs were recently spotted with Tigress ST 12 roaming in the Tal Vriksh range of the reserve which is a remarkable development for the Sariska Tiger Reserve. The total number of big cats in Sariska Tiger Reserve is now 25 along with 8 adorable tiger cubs. Many safety measures and conservational efforts are set up by the government to protect every wildlife of the forest including enhanced surveillance, 24 camera monitoring and trackers installed.
