Spread across nearly 1,334 square km, the area once served as the hunting grounds for the Jaipur royal family. Authorities declared it a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and included it in Project Tiger in 1973.<\/p>\n<p>The reserve draws visitors with its dense forests, scenic lakes, and the majestic Ranthambore Fort perched on a hill inside the park. The main spotlight is its tigers, often seen in broad daylight, which is rare in most tiger habitats. The park actively contributes to India&#8217;s tiger conservation efforts and shelters several iconic big cats.<\/p>\n<p>Ranthambore also hosts leopards, sloth bears, wild boars, hyenas, crocodiles, and over 300 species of birds.<\/p>\n<p>Encounters like these are a reminder of what India&#8217;s forests are capable of when left undisturbed, forest officials said.<\/p>\n<p>At present, Kuno National Park, where the cheetah allegedly strayed from, is home to 54 cheetahs, including adults and cubs<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a rare and remarkable moment, three of the wild&#8217;s most elusive predators, a tiger, a leopard and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[20521,186906,186907,186908,31971,186910,186911,186912,186913,186914,186915,186916,186917,186918,186909,186904,186905,90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-542430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-ranthambore","tag-ranthambore-cheetah","tag-ranthambore-cheetah-kp2","tag-ranthambore-national","tag-ranthambore-national-park","tag-ranthambore-national-park-about","tag-ranthambore-national-park-animals-list","tag-ranthambore-national-park-area","tag-ranthambore-national-park-booking","tag-ranthambore-national-park-closed","tag-ranthambore-national-park-in-rajasthan","tag-ranthambore-national-park-incident","tag-ranthambore-national-park-india","tag-ranthambore-national-park-ka-video","tag-ranthambore-national-park-sawai-madohpur","tag-ranthambore-news","tag-ranthambore-tiger","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
