Epi 55: Wildlife news – How extinct cheetahs are being brought back to India

Full Episode description

Commemorating India's 75 years of independence, the government of India plans to bring African cheetahs from Namibia. In this episode, 12-year old Aadya discusses the reasons for cheetahs going extinct in the past and where these cheetahs stand the best chances of survival. India has had reasonable success in ensuring healthy populations of other animals that were earlier on the brink of extinction (including the lions and rhinos). 

Aadya, the daughter of an officer from the Indian army, also speaks at length about how she has moved many towns, cities and schools just during her primary school years. She also speaks about how tough the life of those serving the defence forces is. Listen to this conversation to find out more about who leads a pride of lions amongst Asian lions vs African lions. There's loads of trivia about herd behaviour of elephants and the lone fighting spirit of the cheetahs.

Go ahead and listen to the full episode on this channel 'What's new today' – a lively kids and families podcast.  We invite children in every episode to co-host the show with Sangeetha (the host), and they chat about current events. These conversations are unscripted, filled with wit and curiosity.
