A study on the reintroduced tiger population in Panna Tiger Reserve, India, explored how tigers interact within their species, focusing on both space use (static interactions) and movement patterns (dynamic interactions). 📊

Key insights:
✅ 126 tiger dyads observed – 18 male-male, 35 female-female, 73 male-female pairs.

✅ High male-female spatial overlap but independent male movements.

✅ Mother-cub pairs showed synchronized movement, while female siblings moved together before establishing separate territories.

✅ Mate selection evolved as more males were introduced, stressing the need for sufficient mate choice in reintroduction efforts.
