TL;DR Summary

Uday, a cheetah from Africa, has died in India's Kuno National Park, two months after being reintroduced as part of an effort to revive the big cat in the country. This is the second cheetah to have died in less than a month. The cause of death is unknown, and authorities will perform a post-mortem. India's government plans to introduce 50 cheetahs over the next five years. Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952, but the country welcomed four newborn cheetahs in late March for the first time since the species disappeared from India more than 70 years ago.
