Namibian Cheetah Gaurav Dies at Kuno National Park During Treatment
Gaurav, a 10-year-old Namibian cheetah and one of the first eight brought to India under Project Cheetah in 2022, died at Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park on September 21 while undergoing treatment. Rescued from the wild on September 12 due to weakness, dehydration, and muscle wasting, Gaurav was suspected to have an underlying chronic condition. Despite supportive care, his health deteriorated. His death reduces India's cheetah population to 55, with 51 at Kuno, including 36 Indian-born individuals, and four at Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary.
