Seventy years after being extinct from India, world's fastest land animal Cheetahs walk on the Indian ground once again as part of Project Cheetah. The Cheetah Reintroduction Project is first-of-its-kind transcontinental mission under which a total of eight Namibian Cheetahs are brought back to the Indian territory after being extinct for over 70 years. Five female and three male cheetahs are heading for India in a customized Boeing 747-400 jumbo aircraft from Namibia's capital Windhoek, travelling overnight and reaching Gwalior on September 17.
