Two cheetahs move to new home in Madhya Pradesh
20 April 25
Two
cheetahs, Prabhas and Pawak, moved to their new home as Madhya Pradesh
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav released them into the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife
Sanctuary on Sunday.
The six-year-old males are from the batch of cheetahs brought to the Kuno National Park from South Africa in February 2023.
They will now sprint in their 64-sq. km enclosure at Gandhi Sagar that
is spread between Mandsaur and Neemuch districts, with the Chambal
river cutting the sanctuary into almost two equal halves.
Calling the Cheetah Project an ambitious initiative by Madhya Pradesh,
Mr. Yadav said the goal was to increase the number of cheetahs in India
and preserve the species. Cheetahs were first introduced at Kuno in
September 2022.
