I believe Jonathan and Angela Scott are on the Mara in October Jackson, im sure they will confirm if it's Shakira or not. Thank you once again for your continued updates.

Thanks for posting Jack.
these are low res pics and the Ronkai cheetah's face is small.
I took a look at the tip of the tail ; no match.
Also check here what I did :

No spot matching...
Anyway, I wish good luck to this beautiful mother... the Olkeju Ronkai pride of lions is not that strong, but the Somak guides and tourists maybe another kind of harrassment ;-)

Shakira or not, what a beautiful cat...and adorable cubs! Good for her keeping them safe and sound.

Hi Jackson and Olivier, really difficult to find a final answer with just 2 pictures.

If she is indeed Shakira or not we will find out sooner or later.

Cheers
Cassio.

As Cassio says itis difficult to ID from just a couple of Photos. We have some more Photos that were taken of the Cheetah, and the 6 Cubs over the last few days that can be viewed through a link on out Forum Wild About Animals
http://wildaboutanimals.forumotion.net/
I'm not sure if they will help with ID, but they may.
Jonathen & Angela are due in the Mara 10th - 17th October .

Congratulations on getting to the Final Jackson by doing so you have raised awareness of the Animals, and the Mara to a Worldwide audience

Jackson has posted on facebook saying this isn't Shakira but her older daughter Duma

Jackson,

Where are you? I am looking forward to your next update of our big cats!

Maureen said...

Dear Jackson,

Is it Shakira or Duma her daughter with the six cubs I saw when I was in the Mara in September? Since I will be in the Mara again in 2011 I would love to know. Thanks.

Hi Jackson,
Wonderful pictures in The Sun and Daily Mail today of a cheetah and six young. It must be Shakira.
Good Luck.

Wow, that’s quite a lot of cubs! I am guessing that they got a good chance of survival and growing to be full size with the protection of their mother?
