Die 🇺🇦 Ukraine bekommt nun den GTI unter den #Geparden, den #Cheetah CA3. Diese Version ist mit X-Band Suchradar und Ka-Band Folgeradar ausgestattet. Der Cheetah CA3, wurde vormals bei der niederländischen 🇳🇱 Heeresflugabwehr eingesetzt und später an Jordanien verkauft. 
Scharfer Schuss in Jordanien.
Yesterday, Iran lost an Asiatic #cheetah pregnant with 3 in a tragic car collision.
Fewer than 30 cheetahs exist
Outrageous reactions filled media why gov did not take mitigations to stop cheetah road collisions
Totally right, but let's see what is the problem? /1

2/It is not a normal road, but a major highway. It was not built recently, but was part of silk road for ages. Sadly, it is part of #BeltandRoad with serious expansion plans. So, the future is not good for cheetahs

3/The road passes between three main #cheetah reserves
There are evidence that Asiatic cheetahs regularly move between these reserves, sometimes up-to 400 km, making them wide ranging animals

Flakpanzer #Gepard 1A2 sind noch in Brasilien und Katar im Bestand.
Rumänien hat die älteren Flakpanzer #Gepard B2L im Bestand.
Jordanien hat die niederländische Version des Gepard, den Cheetah CA2 im Bestand.
"చీతా" (చిరుత) అనే పదాన్ని హిందీలో चीता cītā పదం మీదగా, citrakāyaḥ అనే సంస్కృత పదం నుంచి సేకరించారు, దీనికి "రంగురంగుల శరీరం" అనే అర్థం వస్తుంది.

When #Cheetah are coming back to #India. A look at how the last of the lots were hunted, maimed and domesticated for hunting parties. Video made in 1939. 1/n
Historical record suggests cheetah were in least conflict with humans. Rather they were domesticated and used by hunting parties widely. Even some used to call them ‘hunting leopards’. 2/n
Not only cheetah but most of the charismatic animals were hunted in those days by kings and britishers. Until the Wildlife Protection Act 1972 was passed it was very late. Cheetah were already extinct from India. Footage is archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd. 3/3
#CheetahIsBack
Cheetahs (3♂️, 5♀️) are coming to India (Kuno Palpur National Park, MP) from Namibia within a few days.
They will be released into quarantine Enclosure by the Hon'ble PM @NarendraModi on 17th September.
It's a thread on some interesting facts about #Cheetah.

Cheetah is the world's fastest land animal. It shows astonishing speed & acceleration ... 0 to 100km/hr in 3 seconds.
Biological Adaptations behind such speed:
* Flexible spine, which enables elongated strides (upto 20ft)
* Light weight (avg adult males weigh 40-60kg)

Biological Adaptations behind such speed:
* Flexible spine, which enables elongated strides (upto 20ft)
* Light weight (avg adult males weigh 40-60kg)
* Aerodynamic body (small head, slender legs): minimises air resistance
* Enlarged nostrils, heart & lungs: supply large amount of oxygenated blood
* Semi-retractable claws: Unlike other Big Cats, Cheetah claws don't retract fully, giving them better grip & traction while running

1A día de hoy ¿cuál dirían que es el caza ligero por excelencia? ¿El F-16? ¿El Gripen? ¿Y si hablamos de un aparato que era la mitad de la mitad?
Para mí, este es el caza ligero por excelencia, una pequeña historia del Folland #Gnat (y su hermanastro indio HAL #Ajeet)

They have
-Millions of rounds of ammo
-10s of thousands of guns, radios other hardware
-1000s of MRAPs & Humvees
-Dozens of aircraft
-100s of technicians/operators

There are many criticisms of the #Cheetah introduction plan. No real conservation value tops the list + others like viability & cost. Disease risk is one that hasn't been discussed as much
My report

My report
downtoearth.org.in/news/wildlife-…
Acc. to @IUCN reintroduction guidelines, “no translocated organisms can be entirely free of infection with micro-organisms or parasites, with consequent risk of their spread.”
iucn-whsg.org/node/1471
iucn-whsg.org/node/1471
So disease risk assessments are a top priority to ensure that the 20 cheetahs are & remain healthy & to minimise risk of introducing a new pathogen into Kuno
Sound #science underpins effective conservation action, and so developing #conservationmanagement tools requires a deep understanding of #animalecology. #Scienceweek. PC: Bobby-Jo Vial
Where #wildlifemanagement tools rely on natural signals to modify behaviour, they must be underpinned by an understanding of #animalcommunication & cognition. Taronga's @HWConflict collaborates on several projects with @BPCTcamp unravelling African large #carnivore communication
For example, #leopard #scentmarking behaviour (doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…); spotted #hyena latrine-use (doi.org/10.1007/s00265…); #cheetah marking trees (doi.org/10.1111/aje.12…); and scent marking behaviour of #AfricanWildDogs (doi.org/10.1111/eth.12…). PC: Bobby-Jo Vial

Sat down tonight to see if the harsh criticism of #WW84 is deserved. If anything, its detractors are too kind. I loved the original #WonderWoman, love #GalGadot, felt the love story angle, appreciated the direction of #PattyJenkins. But my Lord, this sequel is garbage. Thread:
First and foremost, the concept and writing are a disaster. A talented cast is brought to its knees by the plodding, contrived dialogue and juvenile plot. The blame here lies with director Jenkins, who wrote this monstrosity, and may have killed the film franchise. #WW84
#GalGadot remains a compelling star, but she and poor #ChrisPine have to wade through a hideous script that allows them none of the chemistry that drove the original. The wonderful #PedroPascal of #Mandalorian fame is reduced to comic villainous excess. #WW84
El estudio #CHEETAH, un ensayo controlado, prospectiv, aleatorio por clusters con el fin de disminuir el riesgo de infección quirúrgica, ha sido aprobado por un comité de ética para realizarse en México.
