Twelve cheetahs from South Africa landed at Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior Airport on Saturday.
The big cats made their journey in Indian Air Force‘s C-17 Globemaster Cargo plane. From there they will be taken to their new home, ‘The Kuno National Park’ in the state, officials said.
CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan expressed his gratitude to PM Narendra Modi and thanked him for increasing the number of Cheetahs in Kuno National Park.
“In Kuno National Park today, the number of Cheetahs is going to increase. I thank PM Modi from the bottom of my heart, it is his vision. 12 Cheetahs will be rehabilitated to Kuno and the total number will become 20,” CM Chouhan said.
