The Iranian Cheetah Society’s camera-traps have successfully photographed this family of a female cheetah with three cubs in Miandasht Wildlife Refuge during October 2015. This cheetah family was first photographed in August 2015, and we are thrilled to find out that they are still doing well.
The female cheetah has been photographed in different occasions since the first time she was identified in 2013 as a cub. Miandasht Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Iran is one of the key cheetah reserves in the country, and holds the majority of cheetah reproduction records since 2011. The Iranian Cheetah Society is monitoring the cheetah population in this reserve since 2004, in collaboration with North Khorasan Provincial Office of Iran Department of the Environment and Conservation of the Asiatic Cheetah Project.
