RARE NAMING RIGHTS
This is a very rare and special opportunity to name a releasable male cheetah who will go back into the wild.
There are two adult male cheetahs that were trapped on a game farm in the eastern communal lands of Namibia. They were both in excellent condition. The 2 male cheetahs will be fitted with satellite-radio collars and released back into the wild as soon as a suitable place is determined, likely before the end of this month," says, Dr. Laurie Marker, CCF Founder and Executive Director. "I am very happy to report both males are very healthy, and big – 45 kg and 47 kg – and they were exhibiting normal cheetah hunting behaviors seeking wild game prey. Given that male cheetahs form coalitions with male siblings and live together for life, it is likely these two are brothers. The collars will enable our team to monitor the cats’ movement and respond if there is a problem, increasing their chances for survival".
