According to a forest official, Oban is out of KNP since Sunday. Earlier, he had ventured out of KNP on April 2 and was rescued from Bairad in Shivpuri district four days later.
After straying out of Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur, male cheetah Oban has ventured into the Madhav National Park in neighbouring Shivpuri district where two tigers were released recently, an official said on Tuesday.
He said a cheetah entering a neighbouring forest is a natural process and there is no plan for the rescue so far.
This is the second time so far this month that five-year-old Oban, one of the eight cheetahs brought from Namibia last year, has strayed out of KNP, which has a core area of 748 sq km, and its surrounding 487 sq km buffer zone.
According to a forest official, Oban is out of KNP since Sunday. Earlier, he had ventured out of KNP on April 2 and was rescued from Bairad in Shivpuri district four days later.
