The Serengeti in Tanzania
The Serengeti ecosystem provides the habitat for the great migration, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and one of the most dramatic wildlife events in the world.
Over 1.5 million wildebeest, 250,000 zebra and almost 500,000 gazelles follow the rains throughout the year, from the southern area towards the northern tip.
This abundance of grazing animals attracts predators. The 30,000 sq km area of the protected Serengeti ‘endless plains’ supports over 3000 lions, up to 1000 leopards, around 4000 hyenas and approximately 250 cheetahs.
With such a dense population of predators, conflict occurs. Lions will kill leopards, hyenas, cheetahs and their cubs. Leopards will kill lion cubs if given the chance and will also kill cheetahs, making them one of the most naturally threatened species in Africa.
The mortality rate of cheetah cubs is around 70%. Combined with habitat loss, lack of conservation, poaching, hunting, black market trading of wild cats, as well as human conflict has left cheetahs in a vulnerable situation. They face the toughest of competition within their natural environment, as it’s estimated that only 9% of their original territory remains.
