A female cheetah, Daksha, brought from South Africa and placed in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park, was killed in a fight with other cheetahs inside the park.
According to sources, Daksha died in a “violent interaction” with the Phinda adult male coalition, which included Vayu and Agni and is also known as the White Walkers. This is the third cheetah to die in Kuno since the cats were brought from South Africa and Namibia.
Twenty cheetahs were brought to the national park since last year, of which two died in March and April.
Sasha, a captive-bred Cheetah, died in March from a kidney ailment she had been suffering from since before she was brought to India. On January 23, she showed signs of fatigue and weakness, after which officials tranquilized and shifted her to a quarantine enclosure for treatment.
In April, the second Cheetah, Uday, died during treatment after he was found sick at the national park.
Earlier today, the Union Environment Ministry said five cheetahs – three females and two males – will be released from the acclimatization camps into the free-ranging conditions at the Kuno National Park (KNP) before the onset of the monsoon in June.
