Kept in captivity, it is a fascinating creature that stands out due to its unique fur variation with larger black spots and partially merging stripes. Almost extinct in Asia and highly endangered in Africa, the King Cheetah symbolizes the struggle for the survival of its species. Visit the Hoedspruit Research & Breeding Centre at the Kapama Private Game Reserve, where these majestic animals are bred and cared for before their eventual release into the wild.
