Bhopal: ‘Aasha’, one of the African cheetahs transported from last year from Namibia, has given birth to three cubs at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh.

Union minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav shared the news on his X handle.

“Purrs in the wild! Thrilled to share that Kuno National Park has welcomed three new members. The cubs have been born to Namibian Cheetah Aasha,” Yadav wrote and posted a heart-warming video of new-born cubs.

The Union minister also congratulated all experts and officials involved in the project.

Last March, another Namibian cheetah named Siyaya, who was later renamed Jwala, had given birth to four cubs. Only one of them, however, survived.

The total number of cheetahs in India has gone up to 18, of which 14 are adults and 4 cubs.
