Indian Air Force’s C-17 Globemaster Cargo plane carrying the 12 South African cheetahs – seven males and five females – has landed at Gwalior Airport. The plane took off from O.R. Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg on February 17.
A video posted by DD India on Twitter shows crates lined inside the craft.
