Special flight of #Cheetahs coming from #Namibia will now land in #Gwalior, then from a helicopter from Gwalior brought to KUNO National Park: SP Yadav
The current plan is for a civilian aircraft to transport the cheetahs to Jaipur, from which point Chinook helicopters from the Indian Air Force will transport them to Kuno National Park.
As part of the cheetah rehabilitation initiative, Prime Minister Modi will discharge them into quarantine facilities that day.
Based on the climate, Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh was picked as the cheetahs’ home. The park’s plants, climate, and weather also resemble Namibian woodlands quite a bit.
In addition, this national park offers them plenty of opportunities for hunting and access to water. Additionally, cheetahs enjoy hunting chital, reindeer, and other herbivorous mammals.
Eight cheetahs in total, comprising 5 female plus 3 male cheetahs, are arriving from Namibia.
