Two-month-old cheetah cub dies in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park

The Hindu  

One more cheetah, this time a cub, has died at the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh, wildlife authorities said on Tuesday. The likely cause of death, officials said, was “from weakness”, with a press note from the Centre stating that the two-month old cub was the “smallest and weakest of the litter.” Literature and experience from Africa suggests that cheetah cubs, in the wild, have a survival rate of 10%, and roughly the same fraction make it to adulthood, the government’s press release noted. This is the fourth cheetah to have died in India since 20 of the animals were relocated from Namibia and South Africa respectively to KNP, in an experiment at establishing a community of cheetahs, the only large cat to have gone extinct from India. “It is a case of the survival of the fittest.” Since September 2022, 20 animals — eight from Namibia and twelve from South Africa — have been translocated from Africa to revive India’s cheetah population that had gone extinct since 1952.
