Acinonyx jubatus

Notes:

As you can see from the photo, cheetahs are a little too fast.

Certainly!

This is one of the many cheetahs at the Cheetah Conservation Fund's sanctuary outside of Otjiwarango, Namibia. Cheetahs arrive here as rescues from traps, as pets, and orphans. Many are rehabilitated and released, but some become too accustomed to humans and remain at the sanctuary. This individual is getting exercise by running on a track designed for individuals that reside in some of the smaller enclosures and need an extra workout to stay in top form!

Hi Goeffrey - could you please explain why this is in the wildlife rescue & rehab mission?
