Cheetah cubs and a vital global bloodline

The most significant arrival came on 18 November, when Uzuri, a six-year-old cheetah, gave birth to three healthy cubs. This birth holds special importance for global cheetah conservation, as Uzuri's bloodline forms part of carefully managed international breeding programmes designed to protect genetic diversity in a species facing continued decline.

The cubs have been named Afrika, Aston and Amandla, and their individual personalities are already beginning to shine through.

Afrika, a female cub, is the most outspoken of the trio. Busy, curious and full of confidence, she has earned a reputation as a sassy little character who always seems to swim upstream.
