Now, a picture of three leopards is going viral with the claim that this picture is of Kuno National Park. Vishvas News fact-checked the viral post and found that this picture is of Masai Mara National Park in Kenya and was captured by wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein. Claim: Facebook user Vijay Dongre shared a picture (archive link) of three cheetahs on February 26 and wrote, “Chamcho Bernal mangwa lo, ab cheetah bhi camera dekh ke pose dete hai. According to some eminent scholars, this latest picture has come from Kunho Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh. These are the cheetahs which have been brought to India from Namibia by Modi ji. How these leopards are sitting like the three lions of Ashoka, the symbol of India.” Other users also shared similar links.
