Meanwhile at Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, a healthy tiger population, along with some cubs, was seen during Phase IV monitoring from October to December 2016. "With 51 tigers in a small area of 227 square km, Kishanpur Sanctuary has one of the most dense populations of felines," Sunil Choudhary, Field Director, Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, told media. Narendra Upadhay, Wildlife Warden at Dudhwa, however, believes that the number of tigers in the national park is under-reported as its dense landscape minimises visibility.
