The KNP's core area is spread over 748 sq km while its buffer zone covers an area of 487 sq km.
Female cheetah 'Asha', one of the big cats translocated to India from Namibia, has wandered outside the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh once again, a forest official said on Friday.
Five-year-old Asha, known as 'F1' before she was renamed, strayed out of the park's buffer zone on Wednesday evening but now she seemed to be on her way back, said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The KNP's core area is spread over 748 sq km while its buffer zone covers an area of 487 sq km.
"Asha strayed out of the buffer zone on Wednesday evening. She kept on advancing farther away, but on Thursday it started returning. She is now close to the buffer zone," the official said.
