| A pair of bat-eared foxes and a female serval have joined Cheetah Outreach. | |
 |
 |
The female and male bat-eared foxes are 3 ½ months old. The female is from Lory Park Animal Sanctuary near Johannesburg and the male is from Bester Birds and Animals Zoo in Johannesburg. Both were hand-reared, and were brought together at 2 ½ months of age and integrated as a pair. As ambassadors for their species, they represent another small predator that benefits from the presence of Anatolian shepherd livestock guarding dogs on South African farmland. |

 |
 |
The female serval is about eight months old and is on breeding loan from Bester Birds and Animals Zoo. She is also hand-reared and habituated to people. Besides meeting the public as a serval ambassador, she will be bred with our male serval, Baggins, when she is fully mature. All three animals will be named soon. |
