Cheetahs()the world's fastest land animals,died out in India over 70 years ago.Now a new
project is trying to bring cheetahs back to India.Eight of the animals were set free in Kuno National Park
in September 2022.
By 1952,cheetahs died out in his country.One of the main reasons is that much of their natural land
was taken over by humans.Cheetahs were almost commonly killed for their skins

cheetahs still living in the wild,and they live in Iran.But even the number of African cheetahs has been
"going down quickly.At present,there are only about 8,000 left.Some scientists believe that getting
cheetahs going in India again will help make sure that cheetahs don't die out completely."Project
Cheetah"is expected to cost India about $11 million during the next five years.The goal is to increase
the number of cheetahs to 40.A second group of 12 cheetahs was prepared by South Africa,and has

The Brave Homing Pigeon
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean,1862.
The captain sighed.This was the thickest fog he had ever seen.They were over 330 kilometres from
the closest land,so he didn't know where to go.The ship was on its way to Europe.Just ten hours ago
they left New York,but now the engine stopped working.Clearly,they needed help!
Suddenly,the captain remembered the homing pigeons.He ran to them quickly,wrote a message for
help,and tied it to Big Blue's leg.Big Blue flew up and then returned almost right away.
The captain became more worried.
"You are our last hope,little guy,"said the captain as he tied a note to Amy,the smaller and younger
of the two pigeons.The captain threw him into the air.Arny flew around and around,higher and higher.
Soon,the bird was away from the ship,and the captain couldn't see Amy anymore.
"That's a good sign,"said the captain with more hope.
Almost 340 kilometres away,Billy heard fast-moving wings come into his building and go straight
to the water bowl."Hi there,little guy,Well,aren't you the thirstiest bird!"Billy smiled.Then he saw
the note.
Billy knew what to do.He took the note,running as fast as he could to the company office.There,he
learnt Arny had flown in fog and over the sea,for more than four hours.
Thanks to Arny,people sent help to the ship.The captain later explained."Ary is the most amazing
bird!"
