New Cheetah Male in Sopa
02/11/2019 Some cheetahs are territorial while others are nomadic. Male cheetah coalitions manage to hold territories, whereas singletons become floaters, covering large areas. From time to time the balance of power changes, and new strong coalitions force out old males and singletons. In some areas of the Mara, coalition has successfully shared territory with single males, alternating visits to certain areas. At Sopa, two males – Kisaru and Kingamu have been holding the area from July 2016. After Kingamu disappeared in 2018, it became difficult for the remaining male (who had a serious eye injury) to hold a territory. As a result, by the end of 2018, this coalition has been replaced by a new coalition of two young males, who came from Serengeti. In addition, in December 2018, a new very shy adult male started exploring Sopa area. This increases the chances of the Mara females to choose partners for breeding.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author From Mara Meru Cheetah Project

Name: Marita
Gender: Female Date of Birth: Somewhere around 1993-1994 Status: Deceased Subspecies: Acinonyx Jubatus Venaticus Location: Tehran Pardisan Zoo, previously City of Bafq (wild) A family of was seized by fearful people, one cub was; the mother escaped and ran way. This cub is Marita. Marita was rescued and was sent to Tehran Zoo. Marita inspired Mohammad Farhadinia and ICS (Iranian Cheetah Society) to research and conserve asiatic cheetahs. "The idea for studying on the cheetahs came about in fall 1996 when I met Marita, a young female Iranian cheetah in Pardisan Zoo, Tehran, for the first time. She was rescued from a tragedy in the city of Bafq in which her young sisters were killed due to unawareness by local people. At that time, the cheetah was one of the least known species of Iran and almost, there was no data about it in the country, which encouraged me to abandon medical sciences after 3 years and switching to study wildlife sciences at the university. I would like to dedicate this work to that cheetah, Marita." -Mohammad Farhadinia "These events encouraged us to do something for Marita’s hometown since ICS establishment in 2001. Therefore, we started educational programs in 2002 until 2009. During this period, Marita always inspired our efforts; so, we would like to dedicate this work to that cheetah, Marita." -Iranian Cheetah Society  *This image is copyright of its original author
