Some more sad news about our cheetah boys.... unfortunately, Mojo passed away while travelling to his new home.

We spoke to Vincent van der Merwe from the 'Cheetah Metapopulation Initiative' and he explained that Mojo died from chronic stress, as a wild cheetah in captive conditions. This was due to the permits to move him taking more than 5 months to process.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who helped us look after Max and Mojo and all those who sent in photos for us to use in this post.
