Cheetahs from Kuno National Park Tranquilised and Returned After Entering Rajasthan

Two cheetahs from Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park have recently crossed into Rajasthan's Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, prompting coordinated monitoring by forest officials. One male cheetah, identified as KP-2 or KAP12, was tranquilised in Sawai Madhopur district and safely returned to Kuno after venturing into human-inhabited areas. The operation involved joint efforts from Kuno and Rajasthan forest departments, prioritizing the safety of both the animal and local communities. This event is part of ongoing efforts under Project Cheetah to reintroduce the species in India.
