The National #Tiger #Conservation Authority (NTCA) has noted the recent movement of two cheetahs that have dispersed from #Kuno #National #Park in Madhya Pradesh to areas in Rajasthan, describing it as natural behaviour. In the coming months, the NTCA will coordinate with the governments of both states to develop a large corridor landscape that encompasses Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, facilitating inter-state movement of the #cheetahs

Cheetahs & Mountain
Mount Kilimanjaro was playing along on my recent safari at the Amboseli National Park in Kenya. I was actually joking before the trip to Kenya that “all I want is a lion or a cheetah in front of Kilimanjaro during sunset…”. And here I was on day one - with a group of cheetahs in front of Kilimanjaro.

The #honeybadger is widespread in #Africa and shares #habitats with #cheetahs. Cheetah #cubs possess a #mane-like, light-colored #fur running down their back, reminiscent of the honey badger, which is highly unpopular with #predators due to its #defensive nature. R. L. Eaton (1976) concluded that the cubs #mimic the honey badger to avoid predation. #mimicry
