Kuno National Park Celebrates Mother's Day With Heartwarming Video Of Cheetah Moms And Cubs
On Mother's Day 2025, Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh shared a heartwarming video showcasing new cheetah moms caring for their adorable cubs. The park has welcomed seven new cubs this year, adding to its growing cheetah population. Notably, Cheetah Nirva and Cheetah Veera are South African cheetahs reintroduced to Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh as part of Project Cheetah, which aims to revive the extinct cheetah population in India. Both Nirva and Veera have played key roles in boosting the cheetah population through successful births, despite setbacks like cub mortality. Cheetah Nirva gave birth to five cubs on April 28 boosting the park's cheetah population to 29 and India's count to 31. Earlier, Veera welcomed two healthy cubs on April 17. In the video, Veera is seen resting under a tree with her two three-month-old cubs snuggled close. Despite her calm demeanour, Veera remains alert, watchful for potential threats, showcasing her fierce maternal instinct. Nirva is also seen attending to her five newborn cubs, while Jwala oversees her four 15-month-old cubs as they learn crucial survival skills. Meanwhile, Asha is seen guiding her three 16-month-old cubs, teaching them essential wilderness lessons. "For the mom who gives without asking, always keeps us safe, and loves us no matter what—Happy Mother's Day! Tag the mom who gives you strength every day," the video was captioned.

The park's diverse flora, including Kardhai, Salai, and Khair trees, and fauna, such as jungle cats, leopards, and sloth bears, provide an ideal habitat for these majestic creatures. Project Cheetah, launched in 2022, reintroduced 20 cheetahs (8 from Namibia in September 2022 and 12 from South Africa in February 2023) to KNP. The project has faced issues like radio collar infections, high cub mortality, and insufficient prey. Heavy rainfall and humidity in KNP have also caused health issues, such as maggot infestations, in 2023.

On Mother's Day, Kuno National Park in MP shares heartwarming video of new Cheetah moms, cubs. WATCH
On Mother's Day 2025, Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park released an adorable video showing new Cheetah moms caring for their cubs. According to the post, seven of the nineteen cubs were born this year alone. Veera, the cheetah, has given birth to two cubs, now three months old. A heartwarming sight shows Veera resting under a tree inside an enclosure, cradling her cubs. She remains vigilant, instantly alert to even the faintest rustle of leaves, protecting her cubs. Another cheetah, Nirva, is seen caring for five cubs, less than a month old, attending to them with love and affection. Meanwhile, Jwala's four cubs, now 15 months old, are under her close supervision as they begin learning essential survival and hunting skills. Similarly, Asha is raising three cubs, aged 16 months, guiding them through the early lessons of life in the wild. One of the most moving stories is that of Mukhi, the first cheetah cub born in Kuno. Now two years old, Mukhi faced a grim beginning. Along with his siblings, he suffered severe dehydration during a heatwave. Despite the forest officials' efforts, Mukhi was the sole survivor. After receiving intensive care and recovering in a wildlife hospital, efforts to reunite him with his mother, Jwala, were unsuccessful, as she rejected him. As a result, Mukhi was hand-raised by the park's staff. Watch the video here: A post shared by Kuno National Park – Official Handle (@kunonationalpark) On April 20, two South African cheetahs named Prabhash and Pavak were relocated from Kuno National Park to the Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary, which spans the Neemuch and Mandsaur districts. This move came after a historic initiative that began on September 17, 2022, when eight cheetahs—five females and three males—were translocated from Namibia to Kuno, marking the world's first intercontinental relocation of cheetahs. In February 2023, India expanded the effort by introducing twelve more cheetahs from South Africa to Kuno. Before the birth of five new cubs, the park was home to 24 cheetahs, which included 14 cubs born in India. With the transfer of Prabhash and Pavak, two of these cheetahs are now settled in the Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary.
