๐๐ฎ๐ณ Cheetah Pau Try Live India, Kala Mai New Program ๐
Plenny years back, da cheetahs used foa run around big kine areas in India, chillin’ wit da lions, tigers, and leopards. But around 1952, da buggahs went extinct afta plenny hunting by da high maka maka guys and da British colonizers, cause da place foa live wen get small, and da kine food wen disappea. ๐๏ธ๐ ๐ฌ๐ง
Last year, da India government wen try bring back da cheetahs by getting um in da country again, bringing 20 from South Africa and Namibia. ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆโ๏ธ
Dis mont, had one big problem when one oddah cheetah wen die afta 45 days at Kuno National Park, one wildlife sanctuary in da middle part of India, Madhya Pradesh. Da most recent one was one wahine cheetah who wen die during one mean scrap with two olda guys afta dey all wen end up in da same enclosure foa mating. ๐ข๐๐
One male cheetah from South Africa dat wen come ova in February wen die from one heart problem last mont. And one wahine from da Namibia group, which had five guys and three wahines, wen die from one kidney problem in March. ๐ฅ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ
Da three deaths wen make da high court guys in India ask da federal government foa think about finding one oddah place for da cheetahs dat wen just move. ๐ฉโโ๏ธ๐๐
“Kuno no can handle,” said da Supreme Court guys, Justices B.R. Gavai and Sanjay Karol in New Delhi on Thursday. Dey was talking bout da wildlife sanctuary, where da cheetahs wen stay afta dey moved. ๐จโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
“Dey bringing animals from far away and might get total extinction at one place,” da judges said. “Why no try find some oddah solution?” ๐จโโ๏ธ๐๐
Dey wen suggest dat Prime Minister Narendra Modiโs government think bout moving some of da cheetahs to Rajasthan, and said dat politics no should get in da way. “Just cause Rajasthan is run by one oddah party no mean you no go think bout it,” da judges wen say. ๐ค๐ก๐ณ๏ธ
Da governmentโs rep, Aishwarya Bhati, wen tell da court dat dey looking into da deaths and dat dey thinking bout oddah places too. ๐ฉโ๐ผ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐
Da wahine cheetah, Daksha, wen die afta da two guys wen hurt her bad during mating, and some people wen start foa worry dat da cheetahs being at da Kuno sanctuary might have make da guys act more mean. ๐๐๐ก
Last mont, one group of experts from South Africa wen tell da Kuno park guys dat two males should hang out with Daksha. Dey wen open da gates of her enclosure to two big male cats, named Agni and Vayu, who she wen come India with in February. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
Daksha wen die only couple hours afta da two guys wen hurt her real bad when dey was trying foa mate. Jasbir Chauhan, one high level guy in charge of da forests, wen say da autopsy report show dat her head was “real bad smashed” by da two guys and dat her back was also real bad hurt. ๐ฅ๐๐
“Dose injuries wen make her die,” Mr. Chauhan said. “We neva thought dis would happen. Was one sad ting.” ๐ข๐๐
Chauhan wen say befoa dat da park guys no know plenny bout cheetahs and was counting on da advice of da South Africa team. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
When one guy meets one wahine, da experts say, can get aggressive and usually scary for da wahine, whose place foa live often gets small during mating. If da wahine no like, da male cheetahs bite each oddahโs kahonas. ๐๐ โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
Da guys often surround da wahine, and if she try run, dey slap her and bite her, sometimes real mean attacking her neck, head and private parts, and can lead to death. Da guys only stop if dey no moa interest and move away, da experts say. ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐
“All da previous times da males and females wen interact inside da big enclosures wen go smooth, so maybe da monitoring teams wen get little too relaxed,” said Vincent van der Merwe, one guy at da Cheetah Metapopulation Initiative in South Africa, who working with da India government foa get plenny more of da top predator cats. ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Mr. Chauhan no agree with dat, saying dey wen talk plenny bout how foa do da mating sessions. “Dey know more bout cheetah than what we do,” he said. “Dey should have said had chance foa violent reaction.” ๐จโ๐พ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
Mr. Merwe also wen say dat da cheetahs being stuck in captivity, in South Africa and at Kuno, wen cause high stress levels for da big cats. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
In 10 years, dey had seen males killing females only four times, he said. Most cheetah-on-cheetah deaths involve males killing oddah males. ๐๐๏ธ๐
Some big cat experts also said Kuno, bout 748 square kilometers, no good for cheetahs, who live in places spread out over thousands of square miles. Dey might get trouble from oddah predators and no moa enough food. ๐๐๏ธ๐
Befoa try foa bring back da cheetahs to India no wen work. Da most recent try involve da India governmentโs plans foa spend rough $11 million over five years foa see if can get back da top predator population in parts of da country where dey wen used foa thrive. Up to 40 cheetahs might be part of da program. ๐ธ๐๐

๐๐ฎ๐ณ Cheetah Reintroduction Program in India Suffers Setback ๐
Years ago, cheetahs roamed freely across extensive areas in India, sharing territories with lions, tigers, and leopards. However, around 1952, they went extinct due to excessive hunting by royalty and British colonizers, habitat shrinkage, and scarcity of prey. ๐๏ธ๐ ๐ฌ๐ง
Last year, the Indian government attempted to reintroduce cheetahs by bringing 20 of them from South Africa and Namibia. ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆโ๏ธ
This month, a significant issue arose when another cheetah died after 45 days at Kuno National Park, a wildlife sanctuary in central India, Madhya Pradesh. The most recent death was a female cheetah who died during a violent clash with two older males after they all ended up in the same enclosure for mating. ๐ข๐๐
A male cheetah from South Africa, who arrived in February, died from a heart condition last month. And a female from the Namibian group, consisting of five males and three females, died from a kidney issue in March. ๐ฅ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ
These three deaths prompted the Indian judiciary to request the federal government consider finding an alternative location for the newly introduced cheetahs. ๐ฉโโ๏ธ๐๐
“Kuno cannot handle,” stated Supreme Court Justices B.R. Gavai and Sanjay Karol in New Delhi on Thursday. They referred to the wildlife sanctuary where the cheetahs resided after their arrival. ๐จโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
“They’re bringing animals from far away, and it could lead to total extinction at one place,” the judges expressed. “Why not try to find some other solution?” ๐จโโ๏ธ๐๐
They suggested Prime Minister Narendra Modiโs government contemplate moving some of the cheetahs to Rajasthan, insisting that politics should not hinder the decision. “Just because Rajasthan is governed by another party doesn’t mean you should not consider it,” the judges noted. ๐ค๐ก๐ณ๏ธ
The governmentโs representative, Aishwarya Bhati, assured the court they are investigating the deaths and considering alternative locations. ๐ฉโ๐ผ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐
The female cheetah, Daksha, died after the two males badly injured her during mating. Some observers began to worry that housing the cheetahs at the Kuno sanctuary might have contributed to the males’ aggression. ๐๐๐ก
Last month, a team of experts from South Africa advised the Kuno park authorities to pair Daksha with two males. The gates of her enclosure were opened to two mature male cats, named Agni and Vayu, who had accompanied her from Africa in February. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
Daksha died only a few hours after the two males grievously injured her in their attempt to mate. Jasbir Chauhan, a senior official responsible for the forests, reported that the autopsy showed her head was “severely smashed” by the males and her back was also badly injured. ๐ฅ๐๐
“Those injuries led to her death,” Mr. Chauhan said. “We never thought this would happen. It’s a tragic event.” ๐ข๐๐
Chauhan mentioned that the park staff were not very knowledgeable about cheetahs and relied heavily on the advice of the South African team. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
When a male meets a female, experts say, things can get aggressive and typically frightful for the female, whose living space often becomes restricted during mating. If the female resists, the male cheetahs often engage in a severe fight. ๐๐ โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
Males often surround the female, and if she tries to escape, they attack her, sometimes violently targeting her neck, head, and private areas, which can lead to death. The males stop only when they lose interest and move away, according to experts. ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐
“All the previous interactions between males and females in large enclosures went smoothly, so perhaps the monitoring teams became a bit too relaxed,” said Vincent van der Merwe from the Cheetah Metapopulation Initiative in South Africa, who is working with the Indian government to increase the number of these apex predator cats. ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Mr. Chauhan disagreed, insisting they had discussed the mating sessions thoroughly. “They know more about cheetahs than we do,” he commented. “They should have mentioned the possibility of a violent reaction.” ๐จโ๐พ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
Mr. Merwe also suggested that the captivity conditions in South Africa and Kuno might have led to high stress levels in the cheetahs. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
In 10 years, they have only witnessed males killing females four times, he noted. Most cheetah-on-cheetah deaths involve males killing other males. ๐๐๏ธ๐
Some big cat experts have also argued that Kuno, about 748 square kilometers, is unsuitable for cheetahs, who inhabit territories spanning thousands of square miles. They might encounter conflicts with other predators and face insufficient food supply. ๐๐๏ธ๐
Past attempts to reintroduce cheetahs to India have been unsuccessful. The most recent effort involves the Indian governmentโs plans to spend roughly $11 million over five years to restore the apex predator population in parts of the country where they once thrived. Up to 40 cheetahs might be part of the program. ๐ธ๐๐
