03:50 Cubs Calling For Mom (No Narration)
On one our the cubs enrichment walks with their mom Abi, in the game reserve next door to the cheetah breeding and rewilding project, Abi, Kimi and Kayzer lost track of each other. As a young inexperienced cubs, at about 6 months old, you can get lost out there in this BIG BIG world easily. Abi wanted out of the direct sun and waltzed over to lay down in the shade of a tree not far away. The cubs didn't notice her leaving and felt a terrible sense of loss when they realized she Mom was gone...
Cheetahs chirp like birds to call to each other. Adults and cubs alike. The current accepted theory is they do this to confuse larger predators that would kill them. A large lion, hyena or leopard is not going to waste time looking to hunt a small bird and so ignores the sound the cheetahs make. But, predators are smart and it they ever learn that sound is a cheetah, then their cover is blown. Time to use that superior speed to avoid capture and death. Cheetah cubs that reach 6 months old can our run any predator or prey that would kill them.
This was recorded at www.runningwildconservation.org. I've asked for a video biography of my cubs as I cannot be there very often and and they graciously record the moments I miss and thank them for it.
Thanks for watching!

  • Abi's cubs, Kimi and Kayzer, lost track of mom on one of their enrichment walks in the game reserve next door. It's sad, funny and interesting all in one. They call for her with 'bird chirps' cheetahs make, and she doesn't come so they go looking for her and find her under a tree escaping the sun on this summers day there. I've experienced that sense of loss too when I was a child and certainly empathize with the concerns the cubs must feel. Imagine the rest of wild animals out there that do lose a parent, friend or family and never get reunited. I have empathy for them. But, I'm glad we can help Abi and her cubs nurture their way through life as secure as possible at this cheetah breeding and rewilding project.

  • That's the cutest squeak I ever heard! I hope mama comes back! I never heard cheetah kitten squeaks before, that's a perfect decoy. thank you! My cat still aqueaks too, he never learned how to meow. That's how I got him, mom wandered off and put 3 kittens under a car but left the runt to fend for himself. He stumbled up to me squeaking in the ROAD with his eyes glud shut with pus so I had to take him home. At least 1 other kitten survived, lives at the other end of the block. He was only 3 weeks old and I bottle fed him.

Not sure I'm a fan of it personally, but I commend you for trying something different - It shows courage and ingenuity and that's never a bad thing! I think most of your coalition are happy with raw footage and your narration - we're here for the Blur Furs 😅 Enough criticism. It's great to see Abi and the kids doing so well (how they've grown!). Can't blame Abi for disappearing, it's nice to escape the chaos of children for a little while, put your feet up, watch a little CatTV... 😂 Keep up the fine work. This world needs people like you to help keep these magnificent creatures around for future generations.

I had a nursing baby in my arms and I fell asleep. We looked everywhere, and finally I saw her sitting at the big window, watching the airplanes. She'd asked me if she could, and in my drowsiness I said she could. Whew. Even now, I continue to tell my girls never to let them out of their sights.

They chase the tamed ones at the project when they come into their enclosures. Not sure if they'd kill them or not. I doubt it because the house cats would try and defend themselves and that is all that's need to cast doubt in a cheetahs confidence.
