The relocation was part of a historic project to reintroduce cheetahs to India after they went extinct in the country 70 years ago. But early hopes for the program have been dimmed by multiple deaths.
The male cheetah, named Tejas, was one of 12 that were relocated from South Africa earlier this year, CNN News18 said. The relocation was part of a historic project to reintroduce cheetahs to India after they went extinct in the country 70 years ago. The effort began in 2022 when India brought in eight cheetahs from Namibia, and continued this year with the arrival of the South Africa cheetahs, all of whom were placed together in the national park.
One of the cheetahs was unwell before it even came to India,” Yadav said in response to a question at the Times Network’s annual India Economic Conclave. Cub mortality is high in both the wild and captivity, according to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. On average, 30% of all cubs born in human care die within one month of birth, and in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, about 90% die before reaching three months of age, the zoo says.
