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.

Two guide vehicles intervened, driving between the two parties, and pushing Oloshipa off in the opposite direction. The lodge claimed they did this due to the low numbers of Cheetah.
From what i understand there is such a low number of Cheetahs, especially in the Mara, they must intervene. It is dire and Lion # s are supposedly stable in the Mara as per MPCP. This mom Cheetah had her 4 cubs with her Oloshipa would have most likely caught 1 or more, maybe even the mom. Cheetah percentage of raising cubs to adult also is low exacerbating the issue from what I've read.
If we dont change our ways were going to have to intervene sooner of later in areas like Kruger and other places. Kruger might be the last place on earth besides Gir that we might have to interfere in the future if people don'tnt smarten up and stop encroaching into their land.
