Pepsi Gives Birth at Cheetah Experience!!

A little blessing is born.... on Sunday 01st September the beautiful Pepsi, who we adopted at Cheetah Experience through fundraising, gave birth to a darling little girl....."Cleopatra ".   A beautiful name for a beautiful Cheetah.

One day old...awhhh
The birth wasn't smooth sailing and little Cleopatra failed to breathe safely on her own. She inhaled amniotic fluid into her lungs during the birth (a potentially fatal condition for any newborn). The necessary emergency care was given to save her life and she is still receiving medical care to prevent lung infections over the early days which can be fatal.















Both Mum and baby are doing well, resting and recovering!!  Sadly Pepsi hasn't produced milk but fortunately Riana and Rene are experts in raising Cheetah's and are taking special care of her.

She now weighs an impressive 390 grams and every day that passes increases her chances of survival!! Amazing work by Cheetah Experience.
