A wonderful trip down Running Wild Cheetah Conservation cub training memory lane. I spent some time recently volunteering at RWCC in South Africa to assist in training the cubs to enrich and train for a future release; among other things. These cubs were born at this breeding project and being 'mother' raised to adulthood before release.

RWCC is doing ground breaking work in my opinion and I am learning from them as well as others who wish to help the endangered Cheetah survive. A captive breeding program is one part of the answer and has proven successful. The experience and knowledge shared between conservation groups like RWCC is improving the overall process birth to release. More and more is being learned from dedicated people who have something valuable to share in the fields of science, knowledge, and experience.

We take a Skyler and Zahra, Shadow's cubs, on an enrichment walk to hunt some wild hares in a large game range. You can just SEE the enthusiasm of these cheetahs as we transport them from their overnight enclosures to the fields where the wild hares live. Wide eyes and open mouths of anticipation as we travel to the destination.

By the time these cubs age to about 2.5 years old, they will be prepared and ready for a release. RWCC has a new project location North West of JoBerg in South Africa with new larger enclosures for their animals and a massive wild animal stocked game range to train, hunt and live on when released. It has been a dream of the founders to RWCC since the beginning nearly a decade ago and now close to reality.

Check out their webpages and consider joining them in volunteership, internship, or direct donations to help them succeed and save a special cats species... the Cheetah.

Folks like the Gouws and others have inspired me to do the same, and I hope to establish my own cheetah breeding/release project in the future and increase the chances of success of projects like this.

For those who didn't catch the Looney Tunes reference in my video, that is me aging myself with a reference to a classic Looney Tunes battle between Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny where Elmer is a hunter trying to get Bugs but never does because he is always getting smarted.

Elmer had a speech impediment where he could not pronounce the letters R or other in words, like Rabbit or Very and it made it funny back in the day. Making fun of peoples or animals handicaps is not cool today... ') But I just had too because this is what it reminded me of. It was not to belittle the prey rabbits that are running for their lives as well. I respect and admire all life but I also understand the balance. But, I also have to be me.

Thanks for watching!
