Special, customised B747 jumbo to bring eight cheetahs from Namibia to India
A specially customised B747 jumbo jet has arrived here in the Namibian capital to bring eight cheetahs to India’s Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh where they will be re-introduced after the wild cats faced extinction in the 1950s.
“A special bird touches down in the Land of the Brave to carry goodwill ambassadors to the Land of the Tiger,” the High Commission of India in Windhoek tweeted on Wednesday.
Eight cheetahs, five female and three male, will be brought to Jaipur in Rajasthan on September 17 in the cargo aircraft as part of an inter-continental translocation project.
