Cheetah mother and cubs swim across a river | Kariega Game Reserve
Guide Richard and his guests had an amazing sighting recently, as a female cheetah and her two cubs (four months old) swam across the Bushmans River.
Most African cat species are very hesitant to enter the water so this is extremely rare to witness, especially considering the age of the cubs.
South Africa is home to the third largest wild cheetah population in the world. The species has been eradicated from 91% of their historical range, according to the Endangered Wildlife Trust. They are currently listed as vulnerable.
The @kariega_foundation has formed a great partnership with @ashia_cheetah_conservation and @africancatproject to establish and support a viable population.
Thanks very much to guests Jonathan and Abigal Nottingham for the amazing footage! @jonnottingham
