Addisop’s remarkable litter of six cubs is a testament to the conservation efforts of the Cheetah Breeding Center Coalition, of which the Safari Park is a member.

These facilities work tirelessly to sustain cheetah populations and prevent the extinction of this iconic species.

Despite the challenges of raising a large litter, Addisop has demonstrated exceptional maternal instincts, with her cubs thriving under her care. Each cub possesses its unique personality, adding to the charm of observing them grow and play.
