New Delhi, February 27 Cheetah Gamini, from South Africa, has given birth to her fourth cub at the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh, bringing the total number of cheetahs in India to 39, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said on Friday.
"Kuno National Park is pleased to announce the birth of the fourth cub to female cheetah Gamini. The presence of the fourth cub was confirmed during intensive monitoring by the field and veterinary teams."
"All four cubs are currently healthy and doing well. The number of cheetahs in India now stands at 39, including 28 cubs born in India," Yadav said in a post on X.
Gamini was relocated to India from South Africa as part of the ambitious project launched in September 2022 to revive the population of the world's fastest land animal in India, which had gone extinct decades ago.
Yadav had announced the birth of three cubs of Gamini earlier this month.
