With the new litter, the number of cheetahs and cubs will increase to 29 at the Kuno park, located in the state’s Sheopur district. Earlier this month, two cheetahs from the protected forest were shifted to the Gandhi Sagar sanctuary.
The total number of cheetahs, including cubs, in the country now stands at 31.
In a post on X on Sunday night, Mr Yadav said, “It is a great pleasure that the population of cheetahs at Kuno National Park is constantly growing. Recently, 5-year-old Nirva has given birth to 5 cubs. The arrival of these little cubs is a symbol of the success of the Cheetah Project and the rich biodiversity of India.” Yadav said that the favourable environment created for wildlife conservation under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is prospering.
