ABSTRACT Facultative scavenging can be observed across a large range of carnivorous mammals but is an uncommon behavioural trait in cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus ). Very few incidents have been reported, with no explanation given as to why it may occur. In this paper, we provide three more observations between 2019 and 2023 different protected areas South Africa Malawi. We suggest common factor these observations, namely that all adult individuals involved were temporarily housed holding...
Abstract In an effort to restore parts of their historical geographical range, and in recognition ability ecosystem functioning the financial benefits they can provide through ecotourism, large carnivores have been reintroduced many protected areas from which were previously extirpated. Similar dispersing animals, translocated individuals often undertake long-distance exploratory movements before establishing home ranges. Post-release monitoring is common, but mechanisms population...

Kleptoparasitism, the theft of food from another individual, is an important interspecific interaction that can have consequences for animal fitness, predation rates, and species' abundance. Similarly, loss to fear effects interactions influence energetic costs consumption rates. Due their smaller body size predominantly solitary nature, cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) are particularly prone negative, direct with competing carnivores, they frequently lose kills apex predators. However, trophic...
