A five-month-old African cheetah cub named Gamini has died at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. The cub had been suffering from a vertebral column fracture and died despite receiving emergency treatment. This is the second cub from Gamini’s litter to die, leaving only four surviving cubs. The cause of death is still unknown and an autopsy will be performed to determine the reason.
South African cheetah ‘Gamini’ and her five cubs were spotted enjoying the monsoon rain at Kuno National Park, showcasing a heartwarming scene of familial harmony. This joyous moment comes after Gamini gave birth to the cubs in March, marking the fourth cheetah litter born on Indian soil and the first from South Africa. The successful breeding program is part of the ambitious project to reintroduce cheetahs to India after they were declared extinct in 1952.
