One of the eight cheetahs introduced in the Kuno National Park last year from Namibia, died on Monday. The cheetah was suffering from a kidney infection for the last three months. A few months after Sasha was shifted to Kuno, she started ignoring the food.

Twelve cheetahs brought to the KNP from South Africa last month are at present housed in a quarantine enclosure and they are healthy and active

The eight Namibian cheetahs – five female and three male – were released into their enclosures at the Kuno National Park on September 17. The last cheetah died in India in the Koriya district of present-day Chhattisgarh in 1947 and the fastest land animal was declared extinct in the country in 1952.
