International Cheetah Day

Celebrating Cheetahs today on this #intlcheetahday. With only around 7000 remaining, the Cheetah population is struggling and listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. Human encroachment continues to shrink and fragment their native habitat. During my time in Ndutu I was encouraged that we found several thriving families. Cheetah mortality is high during the first year of its life and this cub was the sole survivor from what was likely a litter of three to five. Find out more about cheetahs and how you can help from the Cheetah Conservation Fund cheetah.org/.
