He was sedated during translocation and we managed to sneak in a quick photo with him before he woke up in his new home. Manyoni has a healthy cheetah population and his genetics will make a significant contribution to ours and utimately the meta-population. The introduction of new genetics is critical especially for species such as cheetah where inbreeding is a major concern and has to be managed. In order to &#8220;home&#8221; this male we will keep him in the boma for a period of 6 weeks as they tend to breakout if they are released too soon. He was collared already and therefore we will be able to effectively monitor his movements post release.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This beautiful male cheetah was moved to Manyoni yesterday afternoon, after he repeatedly escaped from a nearby game reserve, likely in search of a mate&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/2018\/12\/24\/a-spotted-cat-for-christmas\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A spotted cat for Christmas!<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conservation","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95\/revisions\/100"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manyoni.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
