The kittens of Namibian cheetah ‘Aasha’ were born only a few weeks ago.
Latest News Updates : In Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park, a Namibian cheetah named “Jwala” gave birth to three cubs, according to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on Tuesday. The kittens of Namibian cheetah ‘Aasha’ were born only a few weeks ago.
“Kuno’s fresh cubs! Jwala, a Namibian cheetah, gave birth to three cubs. Congratulations to all of the nation’s frontline protectors and wildlife enthusiasts. May the wildlife of Bharat flourish… Bhupender Yadav shared a video on social media X, formerly known as Twitter.
Jwala, formerly known as “Siyaya,” gave birth to four cubs in March 2023, but only the female one made it out alive.
The fastest land mammal, the cheetah, was officially declared extinct in India in 1952. As part of the national government’s grand scheme to bring back the cheetah population in India, animals were relocated from South Africa and Namibia to the Kuno National Park.
On September 17, 2022, eight large cats from Namibia—five females and three males—were released into enclosures at the park as part of the Cheetah Reintroduction Project. Twelve more cheetahs were sent to the park from South Africa in February 2023. Four cheetahs were released into the wild in December of last year; however, two of them were later caught and placed in bomas, or enclosures.
Agni, one of these two cheetahs, was tranquilized in Rajasthan’s Baran area and returned to the KNP in December. Concerned with feline fatalities, the Supreme Court requested in May of last year that the Center provide a thorough statement outlining the causes and corrective actions implemented. The national tiger conservation authority (NTCA) and the ministry of environment and forests responded by telling the top court that while the deaths of adult cheetahs and cubs at the KNP are concerning, they are not “unduly alarming,” and that the remaining big cats are being taken into custody and given medical examinations as a precaution.
