Project Cheetah Scores Big: India-Born Mukhi Gives Birth to 5 Healthy Cubs

Mukhi, the first India-born female cheetah, gave birth to five healthy cubs, signaling strong adaptation and positive prospects for the species in Indian habitats, officials said.

  • On Thursday, November 20, 2025, Mukhi, an India-born female cheetah, gave birth to five cubs at Kuno National Park, marking Project Cheetah's first successful Indian-born reproduction.
  • Project Cheetah's translocation program began on September 17, 2022, relocating cheetahs from Namibia to restore the species in its historical range.
  • After intensive rehabilitation, Mukhi survived maternal abandonment and sibling deaths, with Kuno National Park staff providing hand-rearing and live-prey training.
  • Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Bhupender Yadav, Union Cabinet Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, hailed the birth as a breakthrough signaling adaptation and advancing conservation under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
  • Officials now worry Mukhi's hunting skill transfer is uncertain, and with 34 cheetahs in India, including 10 adults and 24 cubs, they said `It's too soon to comment on this`.
