After tiger and leopard state, Madhya Pradesh is all set to become a Cheetah state.
Following the successful adaptation of eight cheetahs which were brought from Namibia last year, the state is all set to welcome the second lot of ‘Big Cats’. As many as twelve cheetahs including five females are being brought from South Africa, and will be released in the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh’s Sheopur district on February 18, said Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) J S Chouhan.
“Of these cheetahs, nine cheetahs are being brought from South Africa’s Rooiberg and three cheetahs from Thinda,” Chouhan pointed out.
