Two cheetah cubs born in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park nearly two months ago died on May 25 due to "sweltering heat and weakness", the official said.
As per the officials, the cubs which were born to a Namibian cheetah on March 24, died from apparent dehydration and weakness within the fenced area housing the mother and cubs.
A female cheetah named Jwala brought from Namibia at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur district, gave birth to four cubs in March this year. After the death of the cubs, the total number of cubs has now been reduced to one at Kuno Park.
