India's cheetah reintroduction efforts suffer setback as three cubs die.

TL;DR Summary
Three out of four cheetah cubs born in India, the first in over 70 years, have died in Kuno National Park due to a heatwave in the region. The mother was among 20 cheetahs flown from Africa as part of an ambitious plan to reintroduce the animal that had gone extinct in India. The survival rate of cheetah cubs in the wild and captivity is low. The government is confident the relocation of cheetahs will be successful, but many experts have expressed scepticism about the ambitious project to reintroduce the African animals into Indian forests.
