All mortalities of Cheetahs in Kuno National Park are natural, claims NTCA

Of the 20 translocated Cheetahs from South Africa and Namibia, five mortalities of adult individuals have been reported from Kuno National Park. As per the preliminary analysis by National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), all mortalities are due to natural causes. There are reports in the media attributing these Cheetah deaths to other reasons but such reports are not based on any scientific evidence. For investigating the cause of Cheetah deaths, consultation with international cheetah experts/ veterinary doctors from South Africa and Namibia is being done on regular basis.
