Cheetah deaths line up in Kuno National Park.. Another cheetah death 😢

Efforts are being made to save wild animals are not succeeding. Although many measures are being taken to protect the leopard species from extinction, the results are not visible. Another cheetah died in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park (Kuno National Park) on Friday.

Officials announced that a male cheetah named Suraj (Cheetah Suraj died). This is the eighth cheetah death in the last five months. The cause of his death is not yet known. The cheetah was seen by the patrolling and monitoring team in the national park on Friday morning in a completely weakened and collapsed state. They immediately informed the doctors. But the cheetah died before the doctors arrived. Its weight has also been greatly reduced. He said that the cheetah, which was around 55 kg in February, has now reduced to 43 kg. However, two cheetahs died in this month. It is known that a male cheetah named Teja died of injuries on Tuesday. It was later confirmed that it died due to injuries sustained during mating. Meanwhile, India brought eight cheetahs from Namibia on September 17 last year and 12 cheetahs from South Africa in February this year to Kuno National Park as part of Project Cheetah. Out of this five died and four are in the enclosure. Four cheetah cubs were born in March this year, but three of them died on the same day in May. Currently there are only 16 cheetahs in Kuno National Park. Experts say that up to 90 percent of the cheetahs born die at a young age. However, it is very sad that the leopards in the sanctuary are dying in succession. 😥
