Cheetah Cub Found Injured in Madhya Pradesh Dies; Investigation Underway
A 19-month-old male cheetah cub, offspring of female cheetah Nirva, was found injured in Madhya Pradesh's Morena forest division outside Kuno National Park. The cub was rescued and treated at Kuno and later at Jabalpur, where it died from pellet injuries suspected to be caused by gunshot wounds. The State Tiger Strike Force is investigating possible poaching, human conflict, or animal attack. The incident raises concerns about wildlife safety and monitoring as cheetahs range beyond protected areas in a region with recent leopard poaching cases.
