In a historic conservation success, the Indian-born female cheetah Mukhi gave birth to five cubs in the Kuno National Park (KNP), Madhya Pradesh. Mukhi is the first cheetah to be born on Indian soil after the reintroduction program was launched, and this is her first litter. This birth marks a crucial milestone for Project Cheetah, reinforcing the hope for the long-term establishment of the cheetah population in India. Mukhi was born to one of the original female cheetahs relocated from South Africa. KNP authorities are closely monitoring the mother and the five cubs, ensuring minimal human disturbance.
