Thanks for all of the posts.

I'd rather not find out what their mum would do if one tried to cuddle them though, Patsy!

Maybe we should send them some empty boxes to play in.🐈🐈

I had a feeling that you'd be posting on this thread, Susan 😊

cheetah went through a genetic bottleneck somewhere round the end of the ice age. It mean they're all genetically very similar: if a cheetah disease kills some of them, it could kill all of them.

Also, they're not a successful species. They're fast but they have weak jaws, so they can only eat the juicy bits of their prey before stronger species chase them off.

and we are much more of a threat to them than they are to us.

I suppose that is true with most non-humans.

I don't think we're much of a threat to cheetah, though like other African animals they see their territory shrinking. Big game hunters go for leopards, which are much stronger and tougher and used to range from Siberia to the Cape Town suburbs (I think the southern edge has receded a bit since then).
