The Supreme Court of India recently permitted to introduce which animal to Indian habitat from Namibia?
A)
African Cheetah
B)
African Lion
C)
African Rhinoceros
D)
African elephant

Correct Answer : Option (A) - African Cheetah


The Supreme Court of India recently permitted the Centre to introduce the ‘African Cheetahs’ to the appropriate habitats in India. As the Asiatic cheetah, commonly called as the Indian Cheetah, has become almost extinct, National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) filed a petition, which sought permission for introducing African Cheetahs to India.

The bench headed by the Chief Justice S A Bobde also set up a committee with three members from Wildlife Institute of India, Ministry of Environment and Forests, which will guide the NTCA in this regard.
