Cheetah Veera’s Journey
Veera’s journey has been nothing short of an adventure. She made headlines earlier when she strayed beyond the park’s boundaries, embarking on a 25-day journey through different regions.
She crossed Jaura and Pahargarh in Morena before reaching Gwalior. In Baghwala village of Bhanwarpura, she startled locals by attacking a herd of goats and dragging away three right in front of the shepherd. After days of tracking, Kuno’s team finally found her and brought her back safely.
Now, with the birth of her cubs, the park is celebrating yet another milestone. Wildlife officials are closely monitoring the mother and her newborns, ensuring their safety.
This moment is seen as a big step forward in India’s ambitious project to revive the cheetah population in its natural habitat.
