A joyous occasion is unfolding at Kuno National Park as Mukhi, a cheetah born within India, has welcomed five healthy cubs into the world. This remarkable event represents a significant leap forward for Project Cheetah, aiming to re-establish the species on Indian soil after an absence of decades.
Officials have lauded this as a clear sign that the cheetahs are thriving and adapting well to the Indian landscape. The state’s Chief Minister shared the exciting news, emphasizing the breakthrough for the conservation efforts. He assured the public that the mother cheetah and her offspring are being well cared for and are in good condition. Mukhi’s achievement is particularly noteworthy as she is the first cheetah born in India to become a mother, underscoring the success of the reintroduction program and offering renewed hope for the long-term survival of cheetahs in India.
