Cheetahs have been seen roaming in India for the first time since they were declared extinct officially in 1952. On the occasion of Narendra Modi’s birthday, a group of eight cats arrived from Namibia on Saturday.

The first batch of cheetahs will consist of five males and three females. They will all be aged two to six years old and arrive from Windhoek in Namibia in the Indian city of Gwalior on Saturday.
