Cheetah update from Hwange

24/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Great news that Cindy, one of the celebrity cheetah of Hwange, has returned to the Bomani / Camelthorn area, accompanied by one of her cubs. Cindy and her remaining, playful cub are well habituated to vehicles, and indeed to the lodges – both sauntered past the Bomani dining room recently pausing to drink at the trough near the pool, then lay down, ignoring the human activity so close to them.  The other well-known cheetah mother, Queenie, has been seen in the Kennedy pan area of the Park, still with two healthy cubs.

In more cheetah news, 2 males were recently photographed on the plains near Camelthorn, and a search of the Cheetah Zimbabwe research database failed to identify them.  This is excellent news that individuals are still able to migrate long distances between different populations.  These latest cheetah are in their prime, at about 4 years old.

The researchers also had an interesting sighting recently of a male who was born at Ngweshla in the Park in December 2010, and who disappeared for four years until he triggered a camera trap across the Botswana border west of Hwange in 2017. Based on recent sightings, he is now a resident in the Shumba area, near remote Nehimba lodge in the north of Hwange. Great news indeed.
