Introduction

Four baby cheetahs died in Kuno National Park on Tuesday. A leopard probably killed them.

Main Body

A mother cheetah had these babies on April 11. This was a big success because the babies were born in the wild, not in a cage. The workers found the dead babies at 6:30 in the morning. The mother is okay, and doctors are checking her. India started Project Cheetah in 2022. They brought cheetahs from Africa to India. Now, there are 53 cheetahs in the project. However, 22 cheetahs died since 2022. Some died from sickness or lack of water. Other wild animals live in the park too. Leopards, hyenas, and wolves are dangerous. These animals often fight with the cheetahs. This is a big problem for the project.

Conclusion

This event shows that other wild animals are a danger to the cheetahs.
