Feisty Cheetah Cub

Posted by Nature View (Park City, Utah, United States) on 15 June 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

1 of 6 orphaned cheetah cubs (8 months) being rehabilitated at the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia. All 6 had deformed front paws from malnutrition. CCF will nurse them back to health but they cannot be released back into the wild.

Go to www.cheetah.org for more information on how you can help with these and other cheetahs either through donations or by becoming a volunteer at their facility in Namibia. Racing to save the fastest land animal on earth from extinction. Acinonyx jubatus
