Status: Deceased
Subspecies: Acinonyx Jubatus Jubatus

Sibella was captured and tortured by hunters when she was 2, she was rescued and was treated. Then she was released into the Samara Private game reserve. She was the first cheetah to ever be released into wild. She reared 19 cubs in 4 litters in her life and increased the cheetah population in South Africa by 3%. She was able to hunt at a ripe age of 14 but it became very clear that she was barely able to hunt as she was fatally injured by a duiker and died in 2015.
