At least one of them definitely had a collar fitted which is a bit of a shame... it might make them easier to find 0*\

BUT... the logistics in darting and moving them might mean they don't try again for a little while. We shall see X#X

It seems that the park management are adamant that these boys need to be moved and I can understand why. Staying in the main game area doesn't help the species in any kind of way, so after a transfer to Kuzuko they will at least have the chance to breed (I believe they either have or will shortly have females arriving at Kuzuko).

Currently one cheetah (which had been collared) was re-captured and is in the boma again. The other 2 are still out in the park - this morning they were back down the south of the park.

In the rush of posting some information about them the other day I wasn't able to go through all my photos, so here are some more from our sighting last Sunday O:V


Not your everyday sighting - cheetah with an Indian Ocean backdrop O/\ O/\

The 2 who are still free are down that area again this morning. I'm not sure how long they'll remain free for though :no:
