In Ranthambore Tiger Reserve's Zone 9, a rare sighting of three apex predators—a tiger, leopard, and cheetah—occurred, highlighting the area's biodiversity. The cheetah, KP-2, recently traveled from Kuno National Park to Ranthambore but has yet to make a kill. Both parks' officials are monitoring KP-2, with decisions pending on its relocation. Such coexistence is unusual, as tigers and cheetahs historically do not share habitats, raising concerns about cheetah safety in tiger reserves.
