Jaipur, Aug. 13 -- A female cheetah from Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park strayed into Rajasthan and hunted a goat in Baler village of Sawai Madhopur district, around 130 km from her original habitat. The cheetah, identified as 'Jwala' and fitted with a radio collar, was spotted inside a goat enclosure by villagers at 6 am on Tuesday. They immediately alerted the Tiger Reserve team, said a senior forest official. The officials informed the Kuno National Park authorities, whose team arrived in Baler around 10 am. Within 15 minutes, they tranquillised Jwala and took her back to Kuno. Baler village is located on the border of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur district. Jwala was last seen on Sunday in the Manpur area of Sheopur with her cub. On Monday, she got separated from the cub and followed the Chambal riverbanks before entering Baler. Baler Range Officer Naresh Godara and his team tried to rescue her but failed due to her aggressive stance. This is not the first time a cheetah from Kuno has entered Rajasthan. In last, one year cheetah named 'Pawan' and 'Agni' strayed into Rajasthan, they were safely captured and relocated back. Rajasthan has been included in India's first Cheetah Project, under which a 17,000 sq km cheetah corridor is planned between the two states, covering 10,500 sq km in Madhya Pradesh and 6,500 sq km in the state. The project will involve seven districts, allowing cheetahs to roam freely in the corridor. The cheetah (acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the Felinae subfamily that is found in North, Southern and East Africa, and a few areas in Iran. It inhabits a variety of mostly arid habitats like dry forests, scrub forests, and savannahs. The species is red-listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Forest, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching for the illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. Cheetahs roamed India's grasslands till the 1950s when they were hunted to extinction from the country. Iran has a sub-species of the Asiatic cheetah but has refused to share them with India, forcing the government to look for African ones. The Asian and the African species separated between 30,000 and 60,000 years ago....
