Both the cubs are visible in this picture.

The tail of the male cub is visible in this camera trap picture. The bhiriya or Bhirra undergrouth in this picture is typical of Jhurjhura.

The remaining two orphaned Jhurjhura cubs are alive and playful. The camera trap pictures taken three days before establish this fact. Many fingers were raised on the forest department in the last month regarding the safety of these cubs. In fact, Mr. Chandrakant Patil, the field director of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, has worked day and night to ensure the safety of these cubs. All the credit goes to him and his staff.
