Majestic Big Cat Cheetah in the Wilderness of Africa

Description: The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a fascinating big cat native to Africa. These animals are highly endangered due to poaching and habitat loss. With their long legs and distinctive coat pattern, they are known as the fastest land mammals in the world. Cheetah populations genetically vary depending on the region, with Asian cheetahs facing critical endangerment. Visit the Hoedspruit Research & Breeding Centre at Kapama Private Game Reserve, where cheetahs are bred and rehabilitated for eventual release back into the wild.
