Cheetahs at the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, South Africa

Sanbona Cheetahs, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve ( South Africa )

With the Sanbona Cheetah population, there's good news and bad news.

Bad news first: An adult cheetah was killed by lions in a skirmish recently - a common occurrence amongst predators. They don't tolerate competition! The good news however, is that a female cheetah, who was born on Sanbona, has given birth to three healthy cubs (interestingly, within metres of where she herself was born.) One minus and three plusses: the cheetahs are still in business.
