Tiger Park in India has no tigers...

One of India's main tiger parks - Panna National Park - has admitted it no longer has any tigers.

The park was part of efforts by the central state of Madhya Pradesh to save the famous Royal Bengal Tiger from extinction. 

State Minister of Forests Rajendra Shukla said that the reserve, which three years ago had 24 tigers, no longer had any. 

A special census was conducted in the park by a premier wildlife institute, after the forest authorities reported no sightings of the animals for a long time.
