Scientists from the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bengaluru have developed a non-invasive technique to determine the age, sex, and reproductive status of tigers and leopards.
The method relies on analyzing chemical signatures in their urine and scat.
The study was conducted in collaboration with Ahmedabad University and supported by the National Geographic Society.
Samples were collected from zoos in Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Ranthambore Tiger Reserve.
