Lost but know found
One of kwandwe's female cheetahs has 5 cubs, which are now 13 months old. About 2 days ago she was found along with another female which has three cubs now (she origanally had five cubs, but has lost two), and the two dominant male cheetahs.
There was a bit of fighting, snarling, hissing, etc amonst all of them.
I'm not too sure wether she lost one of her cubs in amongst all of this squabaling or before this, but she ended up only having 4 of her origanal 5 cubs left, now thinking maybe it got killed before this incodent or after, not too sure, but at the end of the day she had 4.
While i was out on the afternoon drive and was planning to go in search of lions, from a distance i spoted something moving in the road quite a distance ahead of us, so stopped and looked through my binoculars and to my eyes delight it was her with all 5 cubs, and was sure a delight to all the rangers to.
