Heartbreak at Kuno: Beloved Cheetah Nabha Loses Battle with Injuries

Tragedy has struck the cheetah reintroduction project at Kuno National Park. Nabha, a vibrant 8-year-old female cheetah brought from Namibia, has passed away due to injuries sustained during a hunting attempt within her enclosure.

Nabha’s Final Days: A Week-Long Struggle

Despite receiving intensive treatment for a week, Nabha ultimately succumbed to the severity of her injuries. The dedicated team at Kuno National Park worked tirelessly to save her, but fractures in her left ulna and fibula proved too much to overcome. Nabha’s passing is a devastating blow to the project and a stark reminder of the challenges involved in wildlife reintroduction.

Kuno’s Cheetah Population: 26 and Adapting

While the loss of Nabha is deeply felt, the remaining 26 cheetahs at Kuno National Park are reported to be healthy and adapting well to their new environment. The project continues, with hopes that the remaining cheetahs will thrive and contribute to the restoration of this magnificent species in India.
