The gate of the cage opened as the crane wheel turned. And the newcomers came out one by one and ran into the forest. This is how Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the cheetahs brought from Nabibia in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park. India was once a sanctuary for the Asiatic cheetah, but the animal has been lost due to poaching and habitat loss. Cheetah was officially declared extinct in India in 1952. As such, the cheetah was brought back to Indian soil after 75 years on Saturday on the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
