Description: The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a fascinating big cat admired for its speed and grace. In the wild, cheetahs are highly endangered in Africa and nearly extinct in Asia. With its long legs, it is the fastest land mammal, a majestic predator. The rare king cheetah is distinguished by larger black spots, sometimes merging into stripes. Visit the Hoedspruit Research & Breeding Centre at Kapama Private Game Reserve, where both bred and rescued cheetahs are cared for and reintroduced into the wild.
