Cheetah

Acinonyx jubatus

The cheetah is unquestionably the fastest land carnivore, with peak speeds of 110 km/h recorded. Highly endangered in the wild, with fewer than 8,000 individuals, this feline is a model of adaptation to running. It has a slender waist, large nasal cavities, a long tail that acts as a pendulum and, above all, non-retractable claws for better grip on the ground.

The park boasts an exceptional breeding center with 7 enclosures covering a total area of 7.5 hectares. Rare living conditions in captivity. At European level, the cheetah has been managed by a breeding program since 1992.
