O Projeto de Pesquisas de Conservação de Carnívoros N/a'an ku se soltou recentemente uma chita chamada Boris na natureza, na Namíbia, com uma radiocoleira que transmite coordenadas de GPS diariamente ao projeto, permitindo rastrear seus movimentos.
Boris foi pego e levado ao santuários de animais selvagens N/a'an ku se em maio de 2011.
A coleira ajudou o projeto a identificar que Boris havia se movimentado por áreas onde existia prevalência de gado, causando ansiedade entre alguns fazendeiros locais. Felizmente, Boris ignorou os bodes e ovelhas e preferiu caçar antílopes.
As coordenadas geradas indicam que Boris prefere as bases de montanhas, o que contraria o que se pensava sobre machos solitários.
The N/a'an ku se Carnivore Conservation Research Project recently
released a cheetah named Boris back into the wild in Namibia with a
fitted radio collar which transmits GPS co-ordinates daily to the
project to assist them in tracking his movements.
Boris was trapped and taken to N/a'an ku se's wildlife sanctuary in May 2011.
The collar has helped the project identify that Boris has moved into areas where livestock farming is prevalent causing some anxiety amongst some local farmers. Fortunately, Boris ignored the goats and sheep and instead hunted springbok.
The co-ordinates generated indicate that Boris prefers mountain bases, going against what most would have expected of a lone male.
