Cheetahs (again)

Although we've already done cheetahs, male cheetahs in particular have a unique style of leadership. While technically they are still considered a "solitary" cat (the only truly social cat is the lion), male cheetahs will form coalitions with brothers or other solitary males nearby. As they establish their territory, they are believed to share and rotate the responsibility of maintaining and protecting their territory among themselves, and even split up mating rights with females nearby. They will also split up or share hunting responsibilities, sometimes working together to bring down a larger prey species, or will hunt and bring back food in sequence.
This year's animal Omer is a collaboration between myself and my friend Halli, a PhD in animal science. Thank you for counting the Omer with us!
