Eight Botswana Cheetahs to Join 32 at Kuno National Park; No Separate Fodder Fund Allocated

Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park currently houses 32 cheetahs, with eight more Botswana cheetahs scheduled to arrive on February 28. These new arrivals will undergo a one-month quarantine before some are relocated to Gandhi Sagar and Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuaries. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated no separate funds are allocated specifically for cheetah fodder; meat is purchased from existing wildlife management budgets. Monitoring and tracking efforts continue amid occasional incidents of cheetahs straying beyond park boundaries.
