Sasha, a four-year-old Namibian cheetah, passed away from kidney failure on March 27. cheetah (Uday) brought from South Africa was found dull and with his head down during the morning inspection. The veterinarians caring for him immediately alerted senior officials, and the feline was removed from the large enclosure for treatment. Unfortunately, the cheetah passed away at around 4 o’clock, according to Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (PCCF) Wildlife, J. S. Chauhan. During the daily check-up, Uday seemed sluggish and limping. At 11 am, he was sedated and given the first round of treatment; he passed away at 4 pm.
