Derna, a female cheetah from Kuno National Park, has entered the forests of Karauli district in Rajasthan for the third time, according to wildlife officials.
The animal was spotted in the Mandarail area, a region that borders the park and is part of the shared habitat between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
Teams from both states’ forest departments are closely monitoring Derna’s movements to ensure her safety and to study her migration patterns.
The repeated crossings highlight the porous nature of wildlife corridors in the region and underscore the need for coordinated conservation efforts.
