A female Cheetah ‘Nirbhaya’ is missing from Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park for the last several days as authorities are still clueless about where the big cat might be. The management of the national park has been trying to find the Cheetah but so far, there has been no positive development in the search operation. This comes days after forest officials drew massive criticism as several Cheetahs here died. Now, to ramp up the search, the trekking team of the Kuno National Park has now started using drone cameras apart from tracing the missing Cheetah’s pug marks. Villagers have told officials that they earlier spotted the animal around the place.
The authorities are meanwhile trying hard to find the female feline to bring her into the “boma” (enclosure) for a health check-up. As of now, the park officials have removed the radio collars of six of 11 after the health check-up while the same is underway for the rest of the Cheetahs.
At present, there are 13 cheetahs in the enclosure of which seven are male and six are female cheetahs. As per the latest information, the radio collars of 6 cheetahs have been removed by the Kuno wildlife doctor team and experts from Namibia and South Africa who are checking the status of their health.
According to PTI, the cheetahs whose radio collars have been removed are identified as Gourav, Shourya, Pavan, Pavak, Asha and Dheera, the official said, adding “the condition of all these cheetahs is healthy.”
An official release issued on Saturday also said, “For the purpose of health examination by the veterinary team of Kuno along with experts from Namibia and South Africa, radio collars of six cheetahs have been removed.”
Under Project Cheetah, a total of 20 radio-collared animals were imported from Namibia and South Africa to the KNP and later four cubs were born to the Namibian cheetah ‘Jwala’. Out of these 24 felines, eight including three cubs have died, the agency further said.
