to talk about my kissin' cousins the Cheetahs the fast land animals!!
Louis asked everybuddy to take a photo with an endanger species of our choice and tell a
little bit about that species. On December 30, 2016 our news paper had an article titled,
Cheetahs racing toward extinction
Did you know that a century ago 100,000 cheetahs lived in the arid grasslands of Africa.
Sadly, the population of these majestic and powerful felines is hovering around 7,100 in the wild.
Of this total 4,000 are living across six countries in southern Africa.
1,000 remain in the Serengeti plus clusters as big as 200 and as small as 10 scattered across in pockets of protected habitat. This species has been all but wiped out in Asia. Just 50 still live in Iran.
The National Academy of Sciences and researchers are working very hard to get the cheetah conservation status raised to endangered. Mom and I sure do hope somehow these
gorgeous felines can be protected for future generations.
Louis thank you for the most wonderful idea to write about an endanger species.
For a little white dog you sure do have a great big heart.
Hugs to you and your resident 'cheetah' Hazuzu!!
Madi a Cheetah in my own mind
