Wildest challenge: Seeing them thrive in jungles

INTERNATIONAL CHEETAH DAY TODAY | Struggles remain

- Rajan Raikwar

After suffering hiccups in its initial phase, the Cheetah Project remains on track despite big challenges.

For instance, the adaptability of cheetahs in the wild is still a big challenge. During two years of the project, a few cheetahs were released into the wild. Some of them died while remaining were brought back inside the enclosures for safety reasons. Since their arrival to Kuno, cheetahs have remained inside the enclosures for most of the period, having very little experience of the wild conditions of jungles, terrains and landscape.
