Govt official explains why radio-collared cheetahs can still go missing

After facing criticism over death of radio-collared cheetah, Kuno National Park official Uttam Sharma said satellite collars fitted on cheetahs aren't live-tracking devices & transmit location data at fixed intervals. Cheetahs are generally tracked every six hours, but signals can go missing for hours in dense forests, he added. Tracking them on foot in dense forests was also difficult/risky.
