Four cubs have been born to one of the cheetahs translocated to India in September last year, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav announced on Wednesday (29 March).

Yadav hailed the birth of the Cheetah cubs as "a momentous event" in India's wildlife conservation history during 'Amrit Kaal'.

He also shared the photo of the cubs on Twitter along with a video that shows them letting out some little roars. 


Later in February this year, 12 cheetahs, comprising seven males and five females, were brought to the KNP from South Africa.

"I am delighted to share that four cubs have been born to one of the cheetahs translocated to India on 17th September 2022, under the visionary leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji (sic)," Yadav said in his tweet.

The KNP is situated on the Northern side of Vidhyachal mountains with an area of 344.686 sq km. It was named after a tributary of Chambal River, Kuno.
