Several days of intensive veterinary treatment failed to save a male Asiatic Cheetah cub that suffered a severe spinal injury in a road accident last week.
"Despite all efforts by the veterinary team at Pardisan Park, the seven-month-old cheetah cub injured last week in a road accident in Abbasabad protected area near Shahrud, Semnan Province, died last night," the Department of Environment's website reported on Wednesday.
