GEPARDUS PROPE EMORITURUS The cheetah is about to die

Ex novissima investigatione internationali gepardus (zool. Acinonyx iubatus), velocissimum in mundo animal terrestre, est iam prope emoriturus. In natura adhuc tantum septem milia centum (7100) gepardi restant.

Maior pars populationis per sex terras Africae meridionalis dispersa vivit, in Irania minus quinquaginta restare aestimantur. The majority of the population lives scattered across six southern African countries, with less than fifty estimated to remain in Iran.

Magnum gepardis periculum est venatio clandestina et commercium pullorum. Pullus gepardus vivus in mercatu clandestino etiam decem milibus dollarorum constare potest. A live cheetah chick can cost tens of thousands of dollars on the clandestine market.

Inter hos decem annos ex Africa mille ducenti gepardi pulli clam exportati esse aestimantur, ex quibus maior pars in itinere perierunt.
