A female Cheetah Daksha, brought from South Africa has died in Kuno National Park. “This is the 3rd death so far,” the MP Chief Conservator of Forest JS Chauhan, said.

The Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh lost the second cheetah when a six-year-old male feline, translocated from South Africa in February, died last month. The reasons for its death are still unknown.
