Botswana President Ian Khama has had stitches in his face after being scratched by a cheetah, officials say.
The animal was reportedly being fed in its enclosure at an army barracks when it jumped up and scratched Mr Khama, who was standing nearby.
The incident was "a freak accident, but not an attack", government spokesman Jeff Ramsay told local media.
Mr Khama's injuries were minor and there were "no real security implications", the official added.
