At last, the female!

Victory! During 2014 the project and scientists at the neighboring Rukinga sanctuary, were trying to confirm the presence of a female cheetah which had been sighted in years prior. While camera units were useful in identifying 5 male cheeta...hs; we thus far had not captured the female on the units. Covering a much larger area, as female cheetahs do, she was finally spotted, and with four healthy cubs. This looks promising for the Rukinga population. This location which lies between the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks may also serve as a corridor for the connecting populations. Camera units will assist with confirmation over time.
