Cheetah Update.

One of Kiara's female cubs has been transferred to Marakele today. Rietvlei has been a very successful breeding area for the endangered species and the gene pool can now further be spread in the quest to save the cheetah from extinction. A sub adult male has also now been collared. There are a total of 8 cheetah currently on the reserve.

Friends of mine saw her when she had 6 cubs! Sadly she must have lost 2 along the way. :-(

Cool sighting though. O/\ They stayed next to the road for over an hour. Also had a failed hunt while we watched....

What a fabulous sighting jb ^Q^ ^Q^

Let's hope that the four of them will survive. In any case 6 are too many; the female would never be able to feed them all. Even four are many, but we will cross fingers \O :yes:
