The only animal born in captivity and one of the 20 remaining Iranian #Cheetah died last night because of kidney failure.
It is a sad day for me, I was really hoping to see him grow into a healthy animal and watch him released in the national park.
But his life ended after days of struggle.

An official with Iran’s Department of Environment, Gholamreza Ebdali, told ISNA that Pirouz had a problem with his digestive system on Thursday and was unable to defecate, but soon afterward, he returned to Pardisan Park, where he lives in Tehran, in good health.
However, he is once again in a bad condition being transferred to the hospital, he said.
#Pirouz has had digestive problems and kidney failure since birth, “but he put up with it,” said the official.
“Now, his situation is a bit difficult, we have to wait and see what the results will be.”
