Once these magnificent felines were plentiful in Africa and India. Now they are extinct in India, and in Africa their numbers are dwindling, and the cheetah is now a threatened species.

Although many game farms and private reserves have their own cheetahs they are often restricted by fences and thus are practically prisoners, this is a way to fully monitor and control them 24-7, as those roaming free in the national parks know no boundaries and will often be killed by farmers.

What will their situation be in 100 years?
