Rapid Cheetah Mortality: Tejas Becomes the 7th Cheetah to Die in Four Months in Kuno National Park

Male Cheetah Succumbs to Injuries in Kuno National Park: Seventh Death in Four Months

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh –

In a distressing turn of events, another precious member of the cheetah family has met a tragic end in the renowned Kuno National Park. The male cheetah, affectionately known as Tejas, succumbed to his injuries earlier today, becoming the seventh cheetah to perish within the span of a mere four months.

The authorities discovered Tejas with a neck injury at approximately 11 am this morning. Prompt action was taken as our dedicated team of doctors worked tirelessly to administer the necessary medication in an attempt to heal the wounds. Tragically, however, Tejas passed away around two in the afternoon, leaving the park’s conservationists devastated and determined to uncover the truth behind this heart-wrenching incident.

“An investigation is currently underway to shed light on the exact cause and nature of the injuries found on Tejas’ lifeless body,” stated JS Chauhan, Chief Conservator of Forests. “Only after the post-mortem examination can we hope to determine the true cause of his untimely demise.”

This unfortunate event follows a series of devastating losses within the cheetah population. On March 27, the female cheetah, Sasha, fell victim to kidney disease, leaving the park’s inhabitants mourning her untimely death. Tragically, on April 23, we bid farewell to Uday, another cherished cheetah, who succumbed to a heart ailment. Then, on May 9, a fierce battle between a male and female cheetah resulted in the tragic demise of Daksha, a female cheetah. Additionally, two innocent cheetah cubs tragically perished on May 25 due to challenging weather conditions and severe dehydration.

Regrettably, this is not the first time Kuno National Park has faced such devastating losses. Earlier, eight cheetahs, including cubs, also met a heartbreaking end within the confines of this renowned park. The authorities had previously dismissed these events as lacking any abnormality, attributing the cheetahs’ deaths to malnutrition, which accounts for a staggering 90 percent of cheetah fatalities.

However, the recent surge in cheetah deaths, with six occurring in the month of May alone, has sparked concerns among wildlife experts. These experts have cautiously warned that the impending months may witness an even more distressing demise of these beautiful creatures.

With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to Tejas, adding his name to the ever-growing list of cheetahs tragically lost within Kuno National Park. This devastating incident serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive measures to protect and preserve these magnificent felines.
