Project Report | Sep 11, 2014
Great news from Erindi!!! Spotlight on Jacomina

By CCF Staff | CCF Staff

During out last update, four of our orphaned cheetahs were released back into the wild. Over the past few weeks CCF staff members have been in Erinidi monitoring the progress of the cheetahs who were recently released, and Jacomina is doing fabulously!

Jacomina successfully hunted an adult male steenbok. This is a great step forward in her rehabilitation and release, but CCF's monitoring team will continue to keep close watch over her until she is entirely sufficient on her own.

Jacomina and her cubs are doing well under the watchful eyes of CCF's monitoring team.

Sometime in August, Jacomina sprained her front right leg while hunting but she remains vigilant and her cubs are thriving.Though it's slowed down her hunting behaviors, the sprain is looking better everyday. CCF's monitoring team is still keeping a close eye on her to ensure she and her cubs are okay and is providing assistance whenever necessary. This photos below were taken while Jacomina and the cubs were scanning their surroundings from atop a termite mound!

Please stay tuned for future updates on Jacomina and her progress in Erindi and consider supporting CCF to ensure conservation efforts such as this one can continue!
