Kgalagadi Cheetah Sightings - CURRENT

Post by Mel »

Image

Please only post identified cheetahs on this thread.

For unidentified cheetahs, use this thread: https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3283

O:V The photos should preferably show inside legs (from both sides, if possible) to enable further match-making.
O:V Please post the date and place of the cheetah sighting as well as it makes the IDing easier.
O:V If you can recognize, post the gender as well.

Some general info from Dr. Gus Mills:
10 out of 30 cubs survive in the Kgalagadi which is a much higher percentage compared to the Serengeti where only 5% of the cubs reach adulthood.
But in contrast to the Serengeti, the Kgalagadi cheetahs have longer intervals between their litters. Dr. Mills reckons the reason for this could be better food opportunities hence quicker reproduction but also a higher predator density in the Serengeti causing higher mortality rates.

There is now a new Cheetah ID Kit (Issue 24/12/2023) compiled by the Cheetahs of the Kalahari team (which I'm a proud member of :-0) I tried to create a link to it, but apparently it doesn't work. The link is available on Facebook (And works there as well...)


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
