In partnership with the University of Pretoria, The Endangered Wildlife Trust’s (EWT) Carnivore Conservation Programme collared nine free-roaming Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) in the Thabazimbi area in Limpopo Province, South Africa. This study was undertaken to determine the spatial ecology of free-roaming Cheetahs and how they utilize areas that lack larger, competing predators such as Lions and Spotted Hyenas. The data were collected between September 2003 and November 2008; resulting in a total of 3165 location points for nine individual Cheetahs.
