PENDANG: A pregnant cow was found dead in Kampung Bukit Lanjut here last night, believed to have been mauled by a tiger.
District Civil Defence Force (APM) officer Yuslina Yusof said a team was dispatched to the location after receiving information about the incident at 12.21am.
"Upon arrival, the pregnant cow was found dead with bloodstains on its body and face.
"According to the informant, before the incident, he heard the cow's cries behind his house.
