International Cheetah Day! 3464b+ by Jen Hall
Via Flickr:
Until this last trip to Africa I didn't realize the cheetah populations were dwindling so fast. It is increasingly hard for a cheetah cub to be raised to adulthood. The biggest reasons are habitat loss, human-wildlife conflicts and poaching. When we were there, cheetahs that had new cubs had a ranger who followed them and did their best to protect the cubs from other predators and to keep an eye on them. I thought this was pretty cool. We even saw one ranger run off a baboon that was heading in this family's direction. I thought it was important to bring awareness to the cheetah's vulnerable status.
