A wetlands reserve in Zambia will become home to its first cheetahs in almost a century after the animals were successfully moved from South Africa.
The reintroduction of cheetahs -- a group of three males -- to the Bangweulu Wetlands in northeastern Zambia is meant to help restore the biodiversity of the area, according to a statement from African Parks, a Johannesburg-based not-for-profit that manages reserves on behalf of several nations across the continent.
