Botswana's President Ian Khama has received two stitches in his face after being mauled by a cheetah, his spokesman has admitted.
The leader sustained the injury at a Botswana Defence Force barracks last week, according to government spokesman Jeff Ramsay.
"He was scratched by a Cheetah last week but not really attacked per se," Mr Ramsay said.
He said the cheetah was being fed in an enclosure close to where Mr Khama was standing and somehow managed to get its claw to the president's face.
Mr Khama was treated for his cut but was not admitted to hospital. He was seen last week with a plaster on his face.
Mr Ramsay said there were no security implications to the attack and added that because of the minor nature of the injuries the government had initially decided not to issue a public statement.
Cheetahs are one of the few large cats not to have fully retractable claws.
The claws are not razor sharp and more akin to those of a dog than a lion.
