Overview
- Gamini, a translocated South African female, delivered three cubs at Kuno National Park and is a mother for the second time after a March 2024 litter.
- Officials say India now counts 38 cheetahs in total, with 27 surviving cubs born on Indian soil across nine litters.
- The announcement coincides with three years since South African cheetahs were brought to India under the government-backed reintroduction effort launched in 2022.
- Another translocated female, Aasha from Namibia, produced five cubs earlier this month, underscoring repeated and concurrent breeding in the programme.
- Authorities highlight intensive monitoring, soft-release enclosures and veterinary care at Kuno and a smaller site at Gandhi Sagar, while experts continue to flag mortality and adaptation risks typical of reintroductions.
