India Receives Eight Cheetahs from Botswana
Some cheetahs from Botswana are coming to India!
A special team from India, including a vet, went to Botswana to help with this.
They symbolically received eight cheetahs.
These cheetahs will live in a special safe place in Botswana called Mokoldi Nature Reserve for a month.
This is like a timeout for them to get used to things.
After that month, another team will come to take them to India.
This is part of a plan to bring cheetahs back to India.
India has received eight cheetahs from Botswana.
A government veterinary expert was part of the Indian delegation during President Droupadi Murmu's visit to Botswana.
The cheetahs were symbolically handed over in Botswana.
They will undergo a one-month quarantine at Mokoldi Nature Reserve.
A delegation will later translocate the cheetahs to India.
