India's cheetah reintroduction program has seen mixed success with recent births and deaths.
Four cheetah cubs, born a month ago in Kuno National Park, Madhya Pradesh, were found dead with their carcasses partially eaten. The last sighting of the cubs alive was on May 11. Officials suspect another animal's predation as the cause. The mother cheetah, KGP12, is safe. This incident brings India’s cheetah population down to 53. Of these, 50 are in Kuno National Park (including 33 born in India), and 3 are in Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary. Previous introductions include 9 from Botswana in February 2023, 8 from Namibia in September 2022, and 12 from South Africa in 2023. All surviving cheetahs are reported healthy.
