After we finished viewing the wild dogs we went to see a few male cheetahs. These are adolescents and important to note, not "ambassadors". There were fed behind the fence, but we were also able to see them inside the large fenced area. The animals have a lot of room to run and also trained in techniques that will allow them to survive when released into the wild. But release is selective as they are not released unless the area is safe for them to thrive - ie, not too many lions.
Here are a few pictures of these beautiful creatures. One interesting feature is that each cheetah has a unique tear line.
Sitting pretty and waiting for the jeep. Here is our first cheetah of the day.
Look at the gorgeous tail.
Nice teeth!
Chow time! They were fed in an enclosure. Much more safe for the visitors.
He was fun to watch. And quite handsome, too!
Guinea fowl in the field.
Feeding time. Workers go inside the enclosure to feed the cheetahs.
An opportunity to pet the ambassador cheetah. He is a special cheetah used for education purposes. He was really patient.
