Collared Cheetah – Tracking Cheetah Behavior

by CCF Staff October 15, 2007

We have now collared cat number four and are currently downloading data from the first three. From these collars we hope to learn the habitat type the cats are using and also their daily movements and use of playtrees. We will also be comparing range size to a 10-year study already conducted at CCF to determine how prey and vegetation changes may have affected this. The picture above shows the collar which weighs 350 grams, and a GMS map showing the movement of one cat through neighbouring farms.
