Khorshid (The Sun), has managed to successfully raise all four of her cubs until early November. She is a record holder for successful motherhood among cheetahs in Iran, having given birth to three healthy litters. Khorshid is one of the main hopes for the continuation of cheetah reproduction in the heart of Turan.
The Asiatic Cheetah is an animal near and dear to my heart. I would absolutely love to see one in real life and desperately hope they dont go extinct. An absolutely beautiful cat.
To add to this:
The Iranian Cheetah Society is proud to announce the release of a comprehensive report on the status of the Asiatic Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) in Iran. This extensive study, conducted from 2021 to 2023, provides critical insights into the population dynamics, breeding patterns, and conservation challenges faced by this endangered species.
Key Highlights:
Population Insights: The study documented the presence of six female cheetahs, four male cheetahs, and 17 cubs in the Touran Biosphere Reserve, highlighting the region’s importance as a breeding habitat1.
Conservation Challenges: The report underscores the urgent need for enhanced conservation efforts, including the installation of satellite collars and genetic studies, to ensure the survival of the Asiatic Cheetah.
Research Findings: Over 797 images of cheetahs were captured, providing valuable data on their movement patterns and habitat use.
