As the eight cheetahs brought from Namibia are trying to acclimatise to the new environment in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park, experts are monitoring them from a hole in a loft near their quarantine enclosures to ensure least human intervention, a forest official said.
All the cheetahs – five female and three male and aged between 30 to 66 months – are in good health and under the constant monitoring of experts, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Prakash Kumar Verma told PTI on Tuesday.
The eight felines – named Freddy, Alton, Savannah, Sasha, Obaan, Asha, Cibili and Saisa – are staying in six quarantine enclosures and will remain there for a month, he said. The KNP, spread over an area of 750 sq km, is situated on the northern side of Vindhyachal mountains.
