This marks Jwala's second litter, following a 10-month gap. In March last year, Jwala had given birth to four cubs, of which only one survived, while three succumbed to the extreme heat.
Jwala, a cheetah translocated to Kuno from Namibia, gave birth to three cubs on 20 January, 25 days after another Cheetah, Aasha, delivered her litter.
Another translocated cheetah died at Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park on 16 January, taking the death toll of the big cats that went extinct in India decades back to 10, including three cubs.
Kuno National Park's chief conservator of forests Uttam Sharma talks about Project Cheetah & its challenges, the spate of deaths at the park & how his team's helping a lone cub survive.
Project has seen 6 cheetahs die of 20 translocated from Africa. Animals were initially released into the wild of MP's Kuno national park but later quarantined after 3 died of septicemia.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority has informed the SC that the Rajasthan reserve is facing issues such as tiger deaths, feral cattle, staff shortage, and low prey density.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
