African Cheetahs To Be Translocated To MP's Kuno-Palpur National Park

Kuno-Palpur National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh will welcome its new inhabitants, African cheetahs, who will arrive mostly by next month as part of an intercontinental translocation initiative. The world's fastest land animal was proclaimed extinct in India in 1952. KNP has developed measures to house 12 to 15 cheetahs, including females, and has set aside a five-square-kilometer area with eight compartments for temporarily sheltering the translocated animals.
