Bhubaneswar: Odisha witnesses rare black tigers also known as psuedo-melanistic tigers in the Jungle. They are very rare and it is a variant of the Royal Bengal tiger.
The black tigers sport larger and darker stripes due to melanism, a rare condition that causes dark pigmentation in the animals.
Indian Forest Service officer Sushanta Nanda took to X and shared a video of the psuedo-melanistic tigers from the forests of Odisha.
In his post he wrote, ” Nature never fails to surprise us. This is one of the rarest of the rare. A complete Psuedo-melanstic tiger family from the forests of Odisha.”
