Cheetah in India: Eight cheetahs who reached India after traveling about eight thousand kilometers from Namibia (Namibia) have begun to adapt to the atmosphere of Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. The movement of cheetahs is being monitored in a 15x30 meter enclosure.
Out of these eight cheetahs, a female has been named Asha by PM Narendra Modi, who is four years old. PM Modi himself had left three leopards in the enclosure. On Saturday, when PM Modi left Asha in the Kuno National Park, she sat under the shade of a tree in the enclosure. The female cheetah has been named Asha as part of the hope of resettling cheetahs in India. Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952.
Cheetah activities in the enclosure
According to experts, after spending 24 hours in Kuno National Park, six cheetahs were seen adapting themselves to the new environment. They were walking around the enclosure, alert to every sound and making noises when they sensed something new, but the other two seemed a little shy and were taking time to settle down.
YV Jhala, dean of the Wildlife Institute of India, told the media, "The cheetahs were sleeping during the 12-hour journey from Namibia, so they slept very little on Saturday night. He was feeling the atmosphere of the new forest and was hearing every sound. He was paying attention to every little sound but is silent. The two cheetahs are taking time to settle down but they are healthy."
Experts further told
YV Jhala said that cheetahs were fed three kg of buffalo meat certified by veterinarians at around 4 pm on Saturday and water was given by their handlers. Laurie Marker, executive director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund, told the media, "The cheetahs were medically examined and found to be healthy. They are adapting well to the new home." Marker has come with cheetahs from Namibia to India. Experts said that cheetahs were seen even while looking at the fence of the enclosure and two cheetahs were seen clinging to each other.
National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) secretary SP Yadav said, "All the cheetahs are behaving well as expected. They are healthy and calm. Till now experts have not found anything that causes concern."
