Three cheetah cubs have died in India this week, dealing yet another setback to a historic effort by the government to reintroduce the species to the country after 70 years of extinction
The cubs were part of a litter of four born in late March to a cheetah named Siyaya, who was one of eight rehabilitated cheetahs brought from Namibia to India’s Kuno National Park, in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, in September last year. The first cub died Tuesday morning, said JS Chauhan, chief conservator of the Forest Department of the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh in an interview with local media.
It took a multi-step journey to get her and seven other cats from Namibia, on Africa’s southwestern coast, to central India. Another 12 cheetahs arrived from South Africa in February. But since then, three adult cheetahs have died. One South African cheetah died during an attempt at courtship and mating, a Namibian cheetah died of kidney disease, and a South African cheetah died due to cardiac failure.
