New cubs in the plains: an update
A lot of new cheetahs have recently appeared in the Serengeti.
Tiramisu has two cubs that are almost ready to become independent, Almond has two female cubs who are real car jumpers, and Pecan with her two male cubs has been seen all over the southern Serengeti. Madeline was seen with three very small cubs around the Ndutu marsh, although it has been speculated that lions might have killed the majority of them. There are some first time mothers as well. Courtney was last seen with three very small cubs at cub valley, and hopefully she will be more successful in looking after them this time, while Nathalie was seen at Simba kopjes with a three month old cub. Fingers crossed that most of them reach independence.
