Cheetahs in Kuno National Park
On September 17, during a function, the cheetahs were transported from the African nation and released in the Kuno National Park (KNP) in the Sheopur district as part of a programme to repopulate their population in India, seven decades after they were deemed extinct.
The large cats had been confined in quarantine enclosures since they arrived at KNP, and as of November 6, they had been there for 51 days.
The high number of leopards in the refuge has raised concerns from an animal conservationist based in South Africa, but they also noted that the two animals have a history of coexisting there.
