Two first-generation Indian-born cheetahs, KP-2 and KP-3, from Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh were tracked 60-70 km into Baran district, Rajasthan, in what the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) described as natural territorial dispersal. KP-2 was tracked in the Mangrol range, while KP-3 entered the Banjh Amli Conservation Reserve.

Both cheetahs are satellite-tracked and radio-collared, monitored by a joint inter-state field team. The NTCA noted this long-distance dispersal reinforces the case for a proposed 17,000 sq km Kuno-Gandhi Sagar wildlife corridor spanning 15 districts across MP and Rajasthan. This movement comes after nine Botswana cheetahs arrived at Kuno on February 28, taking India's cheetah population past 50.
