A total of 20 felines -- eight from Namibia and 12 from South Africa -- were brought to Kuno National Park in Sheopur district since last September. The four new-born cubs can be said to be 'Indian cheetahs', born in the wild on Indian soil after the last cheetah was hunted in Korea district of present-day Chhattisgarh in 1947. Twelve cheetahs brought from South Africa in February 2023 are housed in a quarantine enclosure and are healthy and active, a forest official said.
