ACK is keeping tabs on cheetah “Jane”
February 5th, 2010
Jane has taught us some interesting things, such as the following:
- She crossed the main higway (Mombassa Highway) twice at night.
- She travels extensively in the night hours.
- Unlike most cheetahs, she appears to be less active during the day. This may be an adaptation to living in a developed area.
- She has moved into Masai pastoral lands in rugged terrain – outside of our study design area.
The following image shows Jane’s movements between 20 Aug and 1 September after she was released:
