The last known living members of which animal species in India are believed to have been shot by the Maharaja of Koriya in 1947?
Asiatic cheetah
The Mughal emperor Akbar reportedly had an army of 1,000 cheetahs that accompanied him on his hunting expeditions. The Asiatic cheetah was declared extinct in India more than 60 years ago.
According to reports, the three Asiatic cheetahs killed in 1947 by the Maharaja of Surguja, the head of a princely state in Madhya Pradesh, were the last known instance of these cats in India.
According to a July 2009 article by The Tribune, “He (Maharaja of Surguja) also bears the dark honour of holding the record for shooting the most tigers—a total of 1,360.”
