Sundarban mangrove is natural habitat of a number of endangered and threatened species including the Bengal tiger. A Sundarban tiger aged about 6-7 years was brought from Sundarban with wound and hind quarter weakness. From haematological, biochemical and radiographic examination it was diagnosed that the tiger was suffering from infective arthritis. After prolonged treatment the animal became healthy and finally released in Sundarban again.
