Namibian cheetah gives birth to 4 cubs in India’s Kuno National Park

Four cheetah cubs have been born in India’s Kuno National Park, with the Indian government commending the Cheetah project’s efforts in ‘correcting an ecological wrong done in the past’.

India’s cheetah reintroduction was recently marred by the death of Sasha, one of the eight cheetahs that were translocated from Namibia last year.

Indian cabinet minister for the environment, Bhupender Yadav, commented that the cubs’ birth was ‘A momentous event in our wildlife conservation history during Amrit Kaal!’

12 cheetahs were also flown in from South Africa, as the Indian government seeks to reintroduce 50 cheetahs over the next 5 years.

Congratulations 🇮🇳

A momentous event in our wildlife conservation history during Amrit Kaal!

I am delighted to share that four cubs have been born to one of the cheetahs translocated to India on 17th September 2022, under the visionary leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji. pic.twitter.com/a1YXqi7kTt
