Mukhi: A symbol of success and courage
Mukhi, the first Indian-born cheetah cub, is now two-and-a-half-year old. She was born on 29th March 2023 but faced tragedy early in life when, at just two months of age, she lost her three siblings on 23rd May 2023 due to extreme heat conditions. On the same day, Mukhi herself was found weak and exhausted, and had to be picked up for a health check.
An attempt was later made to reunite her with her mother, Jwala, but the mother did not accept her. From that point on, Mukhi was raised with utmost care by the Kuno National Park management team, who took every precaution to avoid human imprinting.
Her journey was far from easy. Mukhi faced multiple health crises and other challenges, yet each time she emerged stronger. Her survival has not only been an inspiration but has also given confidence to managers, veterinarians, and field staff that Kuno can effectively handle health emergencies and adverse situations.
Mukhi stands today as a true fighter—a living symbol of courage and hope.
