Second Cheetah Brought to India From Africa Dies
A cheetah has died in India’s Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh state, the second in less than a month.
Forest officials said the cause of the six-year-old male animal’s death was not immediately known.
It was one of 12 big cats that were brought to India from South Africa in February.
India reintroduced cheetahs last year, more than 70 years after the animal was declared officially extinct in the country.
On 27 March, a female cheetah who was part of the first batch of animals brought from Namibia had died of a suspected kidney ailment.
The reintroduction of cheetahs in India has generated excitement and any news related to them has been making headlines.
