Officials evaluate the setup in the large enclosure
The officials then evaluated the setup in the large enclosure. The decision was made to move the two female cheetahs into the bigger enclosure after that. The larger enclosure’s compartment number 6 saw the release of Tbilisi, while compartment number 7 saw the release of Asha. During this meeting, CCF Uttam Sharma and DFO Kuno Prakash Kumar Verma were also present.
In an interview, Prakash Kumar Verma, DFO of Kuno National Park, revealed that two female cheetas named Asha and Tablisi were released on Sunday into the larger enclosure. There are currently only two female cheetas and three male cheetas in the larger enclosure.
