Meet the cheetahs

Mouse

Mouse was first seen in 2000 as an adolescent cheetah. When she was first spotted she was already independent and so we are not sure who her mother is. Mouse gives off a funny squeaky chirp which is how she got her name. Her last recent litter of 2 cubs have become independent in 2008 and have been known to jump up on cars! Mouse is at home in the Ndutu area and can be seen there all year round.

Mouse was last seen in March 2008.

Where Mouse has been seen:

Wet season: Ndutu; Dry season: Ndutu
