So it's been a while since my last post so there's a lot to catch up on.
Just before Xmas we visited the Cheetah outreach centre with Katherine (our visitor from Texas). The centre has moved from it's old location at the Spier wine estate to a new place at Paardevlei, just outside Somerset West. The new place is bigger and it looks like the cats have more space to run round in (not that they were squashed in before).
Katherine spent some time in one of the cages 'petting' a couple of the younger cheetahs. She still came home with us - guess they'd already been fed that morning.
In addition to the Cheetah they appear to be branching out with some other animals;
This cute little girl is a Serval;
A couple of Black-Backed Jackal
And some very shy Bat Eared Foxes, who use their acute hearing to listen for termites and other insects digging underground, which then then dig up and eat...
A lovely way to spend Xmas eve.
