Cheetah birth
Old 27-10-2008
Ok it seems that it has missed everyone by as I can't find any other thread about it.
Two male cubs were born at Western Plains on August 5th to femaile Malika. (hasn't she had cubs previously?). Unfortunately there were complications and she died and the cubs, named Mtoto and Ushkindi, are being handraised. No mention of the father. Here are two articles about it.
