Tiger Canyon Private Game Reserve in the Free State has welcomed three cheetah cubs into its fold. | Lisaleesolomon1
Shashe is 10 years old and the cubs are about eight to ten weeks old.
"Shashe brought her cubs out for the first time on [Thursday] morning. It was so special to meet these little guys. I was shaking with excitement!" Kueck said. According to the reserve's owner and managing director Rodney Drew, cheetah cubs tend to stay close to their mother for up to three years before they set off on their own.
"We don't keep any animals in cages. We are located on a 6 100-hectare property where our tigers, cheetahs and all other species roam, hunt and graze freely," Drew said.In fact, we are home to the only wild population of tigers outside of Asia and the only wild free-roaming white tigers in the world," the reserve says. It is also known for its successful ex-situ tiger conservation project and for being a pioneer of cheetah conservation in the Free State.
Its cheetah conservation project has been so successful that the reserve now forms part of the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Cheetah Metapopulation Project.
