Cheetah Conservation
Cheetah conservation has been a major focus for ZSL since 1991. In Tanzania we have been carrying out the longest running in depth study of a wild cheetah population.
Since 1974 the Serengeti Cheetah Project has been keeping track of individual cheetahs living on the plains in the southern part of the Serengeti National Park.
Cheetahs at ZSL
Cheetahs have been a long-standing success story at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, where a staggering 130 cubs have been born and reared in the last 40 years.
Cheetah Facts
Cheetahs can reach speeds of up to 100km per hour (70mph) and are the world's fastest land mammal.
