A cheetah brought from South Africa in an effort to revive the extinct population of the speckled carnivores in India has died in the Kuno national park in Madhya Pradesh state, the second such fatality in less than a month.
Veterinarians examining the carcass of the six-year-old male named Uday said he died on 23 April of cardiac failure in the Kuno nature reserve, which is also in the eye of a blistering pre-summer heat wave sweeping India’s plains.
