Cheetah Challenger - Cellphone
tracking
The map indicates the cheetah Challenger’s movements for the past year.
He was captured and fitted with a GPS/CELL collar on the farm Koedoesfontein
approximately 1 year ago. According to Deon Cilliers, Conservation Manager,
De Wildt Wild Cheetah Project, the cheetah is using a HUGE range (approx 191sq
kilometers). This is nearly 3 times larger than the ranges of the male coalitions
that Deon and his team have been monitoring. For the past month and a half
his collar has been very quiet and they will try to locate him with aerial
tracking. Cheetah Outreach sponsored the GSM/GPS cell collar. - June 2007
