Meet the cheetahs

Squeak

Squeak was first seen with her mum, Paprika, and siblings (Bubble & Macaroni) in January 2005. She was brought up in the Ndutu area, but since independence she has moved up around the Makoma area in the dry season and around the Seronera River in the wet season. Squeak’s last litter consisted of four cubs of whom all made it to independence and have been named after characters from the James Bond films - Honey Ryder, Octopussy, Xenia Onatopp and, of course, Mr Bond!

Squeak was last seen in June 2010.

Where Squeak has been seen:

Wet season: Barafu, Mukoma; Dry season: Barafu, Mukoma
