May 2015 -- During my trip to South Africa, I had two close encounters with a cheetah. One was at the Farm Inn in Pretoria where I stayed. The other was at a nearby Lion Park.
A cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat and the fastest land animal. The global population of cheetahs is around 6,500 to 7,100 mature animals. There are about 1000 to 1700 in South Africa. Is the only country with a growing wild population.
