In the end, the decision was taken to move the whole family to the predator enclosure. Cheetah remain an endangered species, which means that for the population, intervention is important to save each animal. The capture was by no means easy, they seldom are in these situations, but the team did manage to move the mother and her three cubs to the enclosure.
After seven weeks, the cheetah family were released from the enclosure, and the break in the cub’s leg seemed to have healed to the extent that the team could not tell which cub had the injury in the first place. There is always risk in these procedures, so when they end well, it is always gratifying for the team who put so much care, attention and love into the process.
