Cheetah travels 100 kms from MP’s Kuno Park to Rajasthan

A free-ranging female cheetah, Jwala, strayed from its home in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park to neighbouring Rajasthan, about 100 km away, and has been rescued from there, officials said on Wednesday.

The cheetah crossed the inter-State boundary, moving amidst a human-dominated landscape, during the day time on Monday, a Cheetah Project official



said.

Considering the safety of the animal and the people, a decision was taken to rescue the cheetah, the official said.

“On August 12, female cheetah Jwala was rescued from Kareera Kalan village in Sawaimadhopur district of Rajasthan, under challenging conditions. With an enormous crowd of onlookers, the cornered animal was rescued after darting,” the official said.
