I've known Abi off and on since she was an 8 month old cub, similar to Gabriel but didn't spend the time with her like Gabe's. I acquired her as a rescue cheetah and ambassador for her kind at my future cheetah breeding and rewilding project. I didn't expect her to want or even be able to bear cubs. The vet said she could, even though she has a large part of her hip bone removed due to an inury during birth. What a pleasant surprise when I heard she went into heat at Running Wild Conservation where they care for her and Gabriel... and now Kimi!
She did so well at the new project that she became a mother of 2 wonderful healthy cubs, Kimi and Kayzer. Now that the cubs are almost adult, 2 years old, Abi wanted to leave them... She no longer enjoyed their company and it is very natural. She went into heat and started the life cycle all over again. She selected her old mate, Skyler again and now Abi is pregnant again and possibly with more than 2 cubs! Look at the end picture of her TUMMY!
I hope to have more pics and video of the cubs, but unfortunately I cannot be there for the event. I have a career outside of my cheetahs that prevents me from spending my time I want with them. I hope to end my career (which pays for the cheetahs) in a couple of years... I pray.
This video scoots through the 8 years I've known Abi and the cubs growing up FAST! They are doing well and Kimi had her own kill recently of an impala female and shared it with her mom and brother. I plan on Kimi being a breeder for my project and future cubs will all be considered for release... into the wild.
Thanks for watching!

Może pytanie napisz po angielsku, jest szansa, że autor ci odpisze XD

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Cheetahs have very little smell at all, like a clean carpet. Their breath even has a deodorizing agent in them to hide stinks. To be near scentless helps hide cats/predators from their prey to get closer. Prey animals also deploy such strategies to avoid predators.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Poor Gabe's. He actually had a female cheetah he REALLY liked at this project named Hunter... She passed away from liver failure over year ago. We would place her next to Gabriel so he could gawk at her, call, and make him active. She didn't like him either, but he was so turned on by her. Gabriel actually mated with another cheetah at another project I brought him from. No cubs and I could not convince the owner to sell her to me so Gabe and her could keep trying. Her name is Love. Maybe I'll try again to purchase her. Time is running out though. Not sure how old she is.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

@@deandewilde4658 would love to have Love here with Gabriel. They belong together. Although, they can't be together like same enclosure. Just next to each other and breed if she is ready. Male cheetahs will harass a female mate. If they are grown up together and stayed together, they will never mate but can live together. Males and females live separate lives in the wild and need to in captivity.

[@deandewilde4658]

@@CheetahWhisperer yeah its like a love story once together and than got seperated but now we just need to reunion.

[@irishsakura1]

What is it like sleeping outside? The mosquitoes? As much as I would love to sleep next to a cheetah, I couldn’t handle the bugs.😩

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Amazingly, in this area of South Africa (north JoBerg 1.5 hours) in the Mts, there are mosquitoes, but they DON'T bother me., Ones in Bloemfontein (west SA) DO! I read certain smells of your skin, not just the CO2 of your breath, affect how a species of mosquitoes decide to attack! Other than that, I love sleeping outside with the cheetahs. The sounds and sky and then the wonderful purring warm spooning company. I don't get to do it often. I also don't get much sleep when doing it. They love it though.

The level of trust they show you is phenomenal. Was resding a paper about how adult human women can identify a man based on a chemical found in sweat: Mitochondria-like Factor. Wonder if cats and big cats have the same ability?

[@CheetahWhisperer]

They do... research in cheetah husbandry shows that females prefer the most DISTANT DNA scented males from themselves... a way of keeping genetic diversity alive! They smell their DNA in the pee and overall scent of a male cheetah.

[@nameless5413]

Abi going at saving her species with some dedication, good. Gabe i think is more ... its bad analogy but i think: domesticated or a good guy in human terms. Some girls just want more wilder fella. Either way as long as cheetahs are having healthy cubs and are all living good lives, as i am sure Dolph makes certain they do, it is all good.

I always look forward to new videos while catching up on your older ones! With any luck ill be able to visit running wild next summer (hoping) and i hope to have something made for cheetah enrichment to gift to them there. Base on something i made over 35 years ago for my house cats. A type of drone car that would seek to avoid being captured i have some ideas on making a remote control ball of sorts covered in hide with a top speed of 30 to 40mph strong enough and light enough for the big cats to knock all over the place :) i already know how to build it just need to get materials together and some cash flow.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Do It! There is an open clearing in the passage way and in the game reserve for such a car. Someone did this long ago at a different project and some of the cheetahs liked it. Rmote car with toy behind. Hide would be better.

[@rejvexplx449]

There was also a problem with my female snow leopard in the breeding program. she rejected all males, so she was withdrawn from the program to live in peace. and to this day she has no offspring.

[@rejvexplx449]

@@gerharddeusser9103 😂

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Dang... In cheetah husbandry, it was shown the females like the FURTHEREST distant smelling relative (DNA) from themselves. Also, it helps to keep the breeding males and females away from each other, sight, sound, smell except when they are ready and in heat. Casual visits are stimulatingly and can help but not everyday. Taking a female to a new territory or project also stimulates estrus.

[@josedorsaith5261]

​@@CheetahWhisperer That's interesting, because it's the same with human women. We even have the glomerulus organ that lets women subconsciously smell if a male has a different immune makeup to her own. Makes sense, considering that cheetahs and humans sexually reproduce and carry their young to term. The female selects which genes get passed on both consciously and subconsciously. Maybe the snow leopard could smell some recessive genes that would have caused problems for any offspring

[@rejvexplx449]

@@CheetahWhisperer and my female cheetah has it even worse. when she was released, she fell ill. and this negatively affected her fertility. she will never have offspring. in fact, she was very attached to people, so she was caught again and brought back to our zoo park. but all other cats are fine. except for that aggressive tiger. next year we will breed jaguars and ocelots.

[@carolhayar3037]

That leopard is owned by another project. At one time they were on contraceptives but that made them fat and lethargic. But, post delayed ovulating animals like these cats, DON'T go through mensuration so there is no discomfort, just hormonal horniness...

[@hotbit7327]

If they hope for them to be released into the wild, they MUST provide opportunities for hunting training. It's been in the reserve, so cats hunted in the fairly natural environment, hunted by themselves.

[@KudaKeileon]

Sometimes they're given pre-killed animals, sometimes they're allowed to hunt for their food. But if you're asking if a live antelope is just dropped in their pens, no.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

I believe in a fair battle between predator and prey. So, they are brought to a large game reserve (you see in the video them tackling an antelope) to hunt and train. I know mom cheetahs and all wild cats bring their cubs a baby prey animal LIVE and let them train. I can't do that but, would not object to someone doing it if their purpose was to train their cubs for future release...
