Most shikarees are agreed that he belongs to the hyena family, and is to that animal what the greyhound is to the foxhound.”Īnother reason for the conspicuous absence of cheetahs from most colonial hunting accounts is the fact that the cheetah was rarely, if ever, considered a “worthy trophy” by big-game hunters. The latter has retractile claws like the cat, while the cheetah’s paws are like those of the dog. The spots on the panther are rosettes on the cheetah they are simply black dabs without a central opening of yellow… The cheetah, or hunting-leopard, in no way resembles the ordinary leopard or panther. Both have a yellowish brown ground with black spots.

Edward B Baker, author of Sport in Bengal: How, when and where to seek it (1886), suggested that the word “leopard” should be applied to the “cheetah” while what is generally called a “leopard” should only be called a “panther”.Ī Mervyn Smith, in his book, Sport and Adventure in the Indian Jungle (1904), described the difference between the two thus: “The skin is differently marked to that of the panther.

The black tear-like streaks on its face help deflect the glare of the sun since it is an animal that usually hunts at daytime.


The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is built to maximise speed (70 miles/hour on an average) - it has a slender body, a small, round head, long legs, a flat muscular tail that acts like a rudder - and is much lighter than other big cats. Why was it so? Because, first of all, back in the days of the Raj, there was a great deal of ambiguity regarding the nomenclature of cheetahs and leopards. While the British wrote volumes on the more illustrious big cats of India, the cheetah remained conspicuously absent from most narratives. The Indian cheetah has always been an enigma of sorts. In 1952, the cheetah, the animal whose name is derived from the Sanskrit root chitraka (spotted/speckled), was officially declared extinct from India.Įven though the trail of the Indian cheetah has been lost in the sands of time, the life and times of the species continue to fascinate natural historians and conservationists, and with good reason. The latter sighting is generally accepted as the final credible report of a cheetah in India. A shikari was said to have shot one in the forests of Dhenkanal in Orissa in 1960, and a couple of unconfirmed sightings were reported from Orissa-Andhra Pradesh border (1951) and Chittoor district (in Chandragiri, in March, 1952). The Maharaja’s kin reported the presence of a few stragglers, including a pregnant female, in the forests of Chhattisgarh’s Surguja district right up to 1967-68. In India, it was Maharaja Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo of Koriya, in Chattisgarh, a man infamous for shooting around 1,150 tigers (1,710 according to some sources) in his lifetime, who gunned down the last known cheetahs - three brothers - in 1947, during a night drive, a few miles from the nondescript village of Ramgarh, which today lies within Guru Ghasidas National Park in Chhattisgarh.
