NEW DELHI, August 19, 2022 (TBNN)
Efforts to re-introduce Cheetahs to India have hit another road-block after some of them which were scheduled to be translocated to the country turned out to be captive-bred.
Reportedly, three of the eight cheetahs which were to be brought to India were captive-bred and they were not able to hunt wild prey.
Three captive-bred ones will be replaced by wild Cheetahs, which will be quarantined for a month in Namibia before they can travel to India.
Notably, introducing cheetahs who are unable to hunt on their own, to the forest which has a large leopard-population is likely to make their survival in the wild difficult.
