In a notable incident in Madanpura village of Morena district, Madhya Pradesh, an elderly farmer successfully chased away a cheetah that had wandered close to his agricultural fields and buffaloes. This event occurred on Saturday around 4 pm, during wheat harvesting. Villagers reported that the cheetah, which had strayed from Kuno National Park, approached grazing buffaloes, causing panic. Undeterred by family warnings, the farmer ran towards the cheetah, shouting loudly, which prompted the animal to retreat without harming any livestock. Forest officials indicated that this incident demonstrates a gradual adjustment between humans and the reintroduced cheetahs in the Kuno landscape. They noted that locals are learning effective responses, often finding that raising an alarm is sufficient to deter the animals. This contrasts with earlier incidents in 2025, where villagers reacted aggressively, resulting in confrontations with cheetahs. The ongoing cheetah reintroduction program in India continues to expand, with Kuno National Park recently recording the birth of five cubs to a Namibian cheetah, bringing the total population to 53, marking a significant milestone in conservation efforts.
