The cheetah KNG22, which died of firearm pellet injuries in October 2026, belonged to the reintroduced population of which national park?
- A.Bandhavgarh National Park
- B.Kuno National Park
- C.Gir National Park
- D.Panna National Park
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Kuno National Park. The male cheetah carrying the code KNG22 was a 19-month-old offspring of the female Nirva and was part of the reintroduced cheetah population of Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. It was found wounded on 25 October 2026 in the territorial forests of Morena, outside the protected area, was rescued the same day from the Sheopur Territorial Forest Division, and died on 27 October 2026 after emergency surgery at Jabalpur in which five gun pellets were removed. Option A is wrong because Bandhavgarh is a tiger reserve and no cheetah of that park figures in this case. Option C is wrong because Gir is known for the Asiatic lion, not for the reintroduced cheetahs. Option D is wrong because Panna, although also in Madhya Pradesh, is not the park whose animal died here; the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change sent its team because of the importance of Project Cheetah at Kuno.
