Born on 1 May 2022, Pirouz was the only surviving cub of three live births of the female cheetah “Iran”. The three male cubs were born in captivity via a C section operation; this resulted in the mother not recognizing the cubs, thus forcing the cubs to live separately and without maternal care. The birth of the cubs marked the first time the subspecies had reproduced in captivity.
Two of the cubs died shortly after birth, making Pirouz the only surviving cub. One of the cubs reportedly died on May 4 due to malformations in the left lung and lung adhesion, while the second died two weeks after the death of the first cub due to “poor quality milk”. Pirouz was projected to remain in Tehran until he was 6 months old, after which he might have been transferred to the Khar Turan National Park if his health problems were resolved.He reportedly suffered from digestive and kidney problems since birth. In February 2023, Pirouz was reportedly transferred to a veterinary hospital due to health complications. On 28 February 2023, Pirouz reportedly died in the veterinary hospital in Iran at the age of 10 months due to kidney failure. At the time of his death, only a dozen Asiatic cheetahs remained in Iran, nine of which were male and three of which were female.
Its all about my latest project that name is “in memories of Pirouz”
