Thanks for the nudge Doogs, great so see MALAIKA on their car, but a real shame about her cub, when every one is so precious, but good to hear confirmation that the migration is starting, that might take some of the pressure off the Cheetah population, with more food available

I feel that wee bit more sadder about her losing one of her cubs after only seeing them last month. It was the first time in 5 visits we had seen cheetah cubs and at only 4 weeks old they were absolutely gorgeous, it really made our holiday. It was so cute to see the two siblings playing and interacting together with mum watching over them. I really hope the remaining one makes it Sad

it is good news the migration is on it's way :)

Thanks Doogs.

It is a shame another one gone, and the Mara can ill afford to lose any cubs.
Some good news though from Aatish the Migration has begun, and he was there

Thanks Doogs sounds as though they had a really bad case, but its good their back on their feet. I hope Malaika has made the right move sounds a bit iffy from what Aatish has said. Fingers X for the other two Cubs
