Twelve cheetahs were darted on Friday morning in preparation for South Africa’s first transnational relocation of cheetahs to India, where they became extinct in 1947.
Two of 12 cheetahs to be flown from South Africa to India in an ambitious transnational relocation project were darted early on Friday at Rooiberg veterinary facility in Limpopo.
It would be impossible for India to reintroduce the Asiatic cheetahs because there are only a few left and that is why it had to choose South African cheetahs, according to a leading expert here.
