Shashi Paul, Principal Chief Conservator of Forest(Wildlife) said the tiger skin appears to be different and not that of the animal as its nail size is relatively small. He added that they are examining them. If required, a sample will be sent to the Centre for Wildlife Health at Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology or to the forensic laboratory of Wildlife Institute of India (WII) at Dehradun for confirmation.
