Hi,

I'm a graduate student studying Cheetah conservation at Duke University. I have a project in which I'm looking through social media sites (like Flickr) to see if there are any pictures of the Saharan Cheetah - basically, any Cheetah in North or Central Africa (Burkina Faso, Chad, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria, Benin, etc). Now, this is an extremely endangered animal, there are only around 250 of them left, so a photo would be pretty rare. But any photos that existed would also really help us understand and conserve this Cheetah more effectively.

Have you ever run across such a photo in your collection? Or maybe know of anybody that has? Even a mention in text like a blog or tweet would also be useful. If you have any information you could pass on it would be really helpful!

Thank you,

Ben
