00:00The carcass of a tiger was discovered in Sungai Dabong in Kuala Krai by several villagers
00:07on Friday.
00:08Kelantan Perhilitan Director Mohamad Hafid Rohani said the villagers found the endangered
00:13species while passing through the riverine area.
00:16He said they then deployed a team of rangers to the scene to retrieve the carcass and investigate
00:20the incident.
00:25He said the tiger had been sent to the National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Sungai for autopsy.
00:34The Malayan tiger is estimated to number less than 200 in the wild in Malaysia.
00:38Its population has dwindled from 3,000 in the 1950s.

00:47to monitor the tigers after receiving reports on the roars of tigers and traces of their
00:52footprints in the area.
