  • South Africa's most loved lion Sylvester who twice cheated execution after escaping from a game park has become the proud father to these adorable cubs. Sylvester made world headlines in 2015 when he was chased out of the Karoo National Park by older lions and during three weeks on the run killed 28 sheep, a cow and a kudu. Rangers dubbed him The Ghost as he kept eluding them as he trekked his way 180 miles away from the park leaving a trail of dead animals he had been feeding on behind him. The public begged for him to be spared and when he was found asleep a decision was taken to give him a chance and he was darted rather than being shot in the $60,000 hunt. Thousand of people from around the world added their voice to appeals to spare him from being euthanised. He was airlifted back to the Karoo National Park but when he escaped again in 2016 the fugitive was dubbed a “problem lion” and rangers said they feared it would have to be the bullet. But again the public came to Sylvester’s rescue and thanks to a tracking collar that had been fitted after his first escape he was found after three days having eaten just the one cow. Sylvester was spared a second time when a vet darted him from a helicopter and taken back to the Karoo National Park where a life or death debate raged over the much loved lion. In the end Sylvester got a stay of execution and was moved to Kuzuko Lodge which is a contractual area of the massive Addo Elephant National Park in a bid to rehabilitate him. He was introduced to another male and two lionesses in the hope he would become a dominant male. And now the team at Kuzuko Lodge in Addo, a member of Legacy Hotels & Resorts who care for Sylvester, revealed that the publics’ faith in the the Houdini-like lion had been justified. Lionesses are fiercely protective of their cubs when they are first born and it was 12 weeks before their suspicions were confirmed that Sylvester and his lioness Angel had indeed mated.

  • Meet the BingwaBunch - a record-breaking litter of cheetah cubs who have just turned one. The five girls and four boys are named for the numbers one through eight in Swahili: Moja, Mbili, Tatu, Nne, Tano, Sita, Saba, and Nane. Born on November 26, 2017, the eight cubs were the largest litter ever raised by a cheetah in an American Zoo. The average litter size is just three. The eight cubs, who are now almost fully grown, are known as the BingwaBunch after their adoring mother Bingwa, while their father is called Jason. Despite the daunting task of raising eight boisterous cubs, Bingwa and Jason have excelled as parents, and, along with the help of keepers at Saint Louis Zoo, they have managed to raise a healthy set of octuplets. The cubs now spend their days playing in their stunning enclosure as the lucky staff has the pleasure of witnessing their personalities emerge. Steve Bircher, Curator of Mammals, said: "We have a couple that might be bolder than others with the way they play with their enrichment or the way they chase one and other. We are starting to see these difference in personalities. Just like us, they have distinct personalities." Now, to mark their first birthday, the Saint Louis Zoo has released these stunning images, which chart the early life of this unique litter of cheetahs. ***Please note, must credit Saint Louis Zoo***. 27 Nov 2018 Pictured: The BingwaBunch the largest litter of cheetah cubs in North America Born at St Louis Zoo.
