Cheetah Growls While in an Enclosure at a Private Game Reserve

Synopsis

In South Africa, the widespread use of fencing around farmland, wildlife reserves, and conservation areas has a significant impact on the local wildlife, including cheetahs. While fences are often put in place to protect livestock and manage wildlife populations, they pose serious challenges for cheetahs, which are known for their need for vast territories to roam and hunt. Fencing can restrict their movement, leading to isolation and inbreeding within fragmented populations.
