A tiger from the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan has entered Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh, where it was spotted by a tourist on April 23. This tiger, identified as T-2512, is the second to venture into Kuno, which is about 70 km from Ranthambore and 100 km from Sawai Madhopur district. Kuno National Park is home to 54 cheetahs, part of an intercontinental translocation program aimed at reintroducing the species to India after its extinction approximately 70 years ago. The park has received cheetahs from Namibia, South Africa, and Botswana, with a total of 57 cheetahs now in India, including those relocated to other sites. Officials are distributing the cheetah population across various locations to minimize disease risk.
