Madhya Pradesh: Namibian Cheetah 'Dhatri' released into the wild


Female Cheetah ‘Dhatri’ (earlier known as Tablishi) was released into the wilds of Kuno National Park in Sheopur on Saturday morning. The Cheetah, brought from Namibia, has joined the group of seven cheetahs released earlier into the wild. 

Kuno National Park’s District Forest Officer Prakash Kumar Verma told Free Press that with the release of Cheetah Dhatri, the number of Cheetah in the wild has increased to eight. Now there are four female Dhatri, Gamini, Nirva and Asha and four male cheetahs and Saurya, Gaurav, Vayu and Agni

Asha moving towards Shivpuri: ‘Asha’ had strayed into Madhav National Park of Shivpuri more than two weeks ago. “Now she has moved out of Madhav National Park and is heading towards Shivpuri. There is no problem until she moves within the limits of Madhya Pradesh. But if she heads towards the border of Uttar Pradesh then we have to think about bringing her back,” said an officer of Kuno. It is learnt that Asha is making the kills from time to time and is exploring the region by moving from one place to another. A team of forest officials is following her and keeping the senior officers updated about her movement.
