Angul: The three-year-old male Royal Bengal tiger brought from the Kanha National Park has shown all signs of settling down in the enclosure near Raigoda inside the Tiger Reserve zone of the Satkosia sanctuary.

As informed by Sudarshan Panda, additional principal chief conservator of forest (PCCF) and field director of Satkosia, a wild boar, released into the enclosure on Thursday, was killed and eaten by the tiger at around 2.30 am on Friday.

The big cat ate the leftover after three hours.
