Animals

In the expansive savanna-like grasslands of the sanctuary, a pair of cheetah siblings named "Zara" and "Kali" have become symbols of resilience. Orphaned at just a few weeks old due to habitat loss, they were rescued and brought to the sanctuary, where they were nursed back to health. These sleek, graceful predators are the fastest land animals on Earth, capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.

Though they can run, Zara and Kali’s survival depended on more than speed. Sanctuary keepers worked to teach them essential hunting skills, introducing live prey in controlled conditions. Zara, the more cautious of the two, learned to strategize and ambush, while Kali’s bold and daring nature made her a natural chaser. Their bond as siblings became a lesson for conservationists about the social dynamics of cheetahs, inspiring new efforts to protect these endangered cats from human-wildlife conflict.
