Description: The majestic cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) were captured at the Hoedspruit Research & Breeding Centre in the Kapama Private Game Reserve. These fascinating predators are highly endangered in Africa due to poaching and habitat loss. Renowned for their speed and grace, cheetahs are the fastest land mammals in the world. The center is dedicated to not only breeding cheetahs but also rehabilitating injured animals for eventual release back into the wild.
