There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

" We found two male cheetah feeding on an impala kill late in the afternoon yesterday. This morning, we located them again, watching them run - what a sighting! It is incredible to see how all 4 legs are lifted off of the ground as though they are flying. "

These games are essential for the felids and more generally for the predators. Young by this way they learn how to fight, to feel the opponent's body, to record some sensations which will help them later during their future hunting and fights.

Rare photographs show cheetahs in snowstorm from south Africa

Photographed from Rogge Cloof Nature Reserve,  coldest place in South Africa.photo taken in August of a female by conservationists and two males, are likely the second-known records of African cheetahs in snow. Both cheetahs are two of the 4 reintroduced individuals of Rogge Cloof, a private game reserve as a parts of their native range.

" Old records confirmed that hunters had once shot cheetah in this part of South Africa. This meant that Rogge Cloof was once part the cheetah’s native range, and suggests that modern-day cheetahs would likely have an innate ability to deal with snow"
This show that the wildcats are much more adaptable than we thought.

You have some odd parts in your posting.

This: "Namibian population of the Cheetah weighs 50-70 kg and averages 46 kg."

That weight range and average weight range don´t make too much sense. From where you got that or did you make just a typo?

Then these: "Asiatic cheetahs weigh 23-33 kg." "Asiatic cheetahs weigh 23-53 kg."  So which one you consider right and based on what?

If you make that kind of postings in which you try to offer things as facts, it might be good to focus and read a few times what you are writing. Otherwise result can be confusing instead of convincing. And now your posting isn´t convincing.
