TL;DR Summary

India has welcomed the birth of four cheetah cubs, marking the first time the endangered species has been born in the country in over 70 years. The cubs were born to two of the eight rehabilitated cheetahs brought from Namibia to India's Kuno National Park last September as part of a government plan to re-home 50 of the big cats in India over the next five years. Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952 due to habitat loss and sport-hunting by Indian nobility.
