Namibian Cheetah, Jwala, has recently given birth to three cubs at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. Union Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav shared a video on X in which the newborn cubs were seen.
Yadav shared the video with a caption, that read, "Kuno's new cubs! A Namibian Cheetah named Jwala has given birth to three cubs. This comes just weeks after Namibian Cheetah Aasha gave birth to her cubs. Congratulations to all wildlife frontline warriors and wildlife lovers across the country. May Bharat's wildlife thrive."
The news of Jwala giving birth to three cubs came weeks after another cheetah, Aasha, gave birth to her cubs.
Cheetahs were earlier declared extinct in India in 1952. Later, they were reintroduced through the ambitious Project Cheetah in 2022.
For this project, eight Cheetahs were brought from Namibia. Subsequently, twelve cheetahs from South Africa were also translocated and released in Kuno National Park in February 2023.
