Description: The King Cheetahs, also known as King Cheetah, are a rare and fascinating subspecies of the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). These two majestic animals are kept in captivity and are an impressive example of the beauty of the animal kingdom. The cheetah, the fastest land mammal, is nearly extinct in Asia and heavily endangered in Africa. The distinctive black spots and stripes of the King Cheetah make it a unique sight. Visit the Hoedspruit Research & Breeding Centre at Kapama Private Game Reserve, where these animals are lovingly cared for and prepared for eventual release into the wild.
