is there no cheetah identification topic? my (slightly superficial) search did come up blank...

we had the chance to have, in the park, Margie and Gus Mills, who study and ID the Cheetahs
but now... we have to start something by ourself
there is some threads, like this one "Wanted : cheetah cub + mum with collar regular updates!"

yeah, that I knew, I even met Dr. Mills two years ago

Hi Ice and Anne-Marie,
You are right there is no cheetah identification thread on the forum.
I spoke to Gus about this a while ago as he wanted to continue the monitoring of the cheetahs in the park in a similar manner to the leopards.
What we were hoping was to produce a cheetah guide like the leopard one. This would require a lot less work because in principle Gus has a very good photographic record of all the cheetahs in the park.
Unfortunately, since Gus has been writing up his research for the past year nothing has been done on this yet.
I will speak to him and see if we can get something organised.
Cheers

I has also speaking to Margie... but my English is a bit....
so, will be nice if you can do something... try to organise...

and like you said, Mrs and Mr Mills know almost all the Kgalagadi's Cheetahs and have a lot of material


I have a question.... somebody has some news of Gertie and her three youngs ?
last time I saw the whole family, was on the 19.3.2013
a big thanks in advance
