Asiatic Cheetah


Photo of the last three Asiatic cheetahs (on record) shot dead in Surguja district, Madhya Pradesh, Central India along with the Maharajah Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo who reportedly shot them down at night as reported in the Journal of Bombay Natural History Society by his private secretary in 1948. The Asiatic Cheetah has never been recorded in India after this.
