Abstract

AbstractOrphaned cheetah cubs are typically removed from the wild and placed in captive facilities limiting their rehabilitation potential and conservation value. After three orphaned cubs (±7.5 months) were discovered on Welgevonden Game Reserve, South Africa, they were fed in situ approximately every 5 days for 9 months. Supplementary feeding was reduced as the cubs began hunting and ceased when considered fully independent (16.5 months). This approach provides an alternative strategy for the management of orphaned cheetah.
