Bhopal: A Namibian Cheetah Siyaya gave birth to four cubs at Kuno National Park in Sheopur on Wednesday. All four cubs are healthy and a special team of vets will be monitoring them.

This is after 75 years that Cheetahs were born in India. Elated, PM Modi retweeted Union Foreign Minister Bhupendra Yadav's post in which he shared pictures of the newly born cubs. 'Wonderful News', the PM captioned the retweet.

Their birth gave a new boost to Project Cheetah in Madhya Pradesh, which shook a bit after a female Cheetah Sasha died of kidney ailment at Kuno on March 27.

Sasha was one of the Namibian cheetahs that was released into Kuno on PM Modi's birthday in 2022.

When contacted by Free Press, Gwalior's Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF) Uttam Kumar Sharma said four Cheetah cubs have taken birth in hunting enclosure. The mother of them is female Cheetah Siyaya which will turn 3 years old on June 16.
