Adopt a Cheetah Adopt a cheetah in your name or in the name of a loved one and help South Africa save these magnificent endangered creatures. Select a Cheetah below: Moya Moya being a Zulu word for ‘wind’, probably implies the speed at which this cat can run (Run like the wind). This male cheetah can be relaxed and relatively placid when it comes to interaction with people. Moya is the more dominant brother and does not like to be reprimanded by anyone! Although the brothers have a strong bond, which they reinforce by grooming each other, Moya much prefers to spend his time alone, far from his brother Juba. The two brothers can be difficult to tell apart, but Moya is a much lighter shade than his brother and has white fur at the tip of his tail too. Adopt for a one year ZAR 3,000 ADOPT MOYA FOR ONE YEAR Adopt for a lifetime ZAR 10,000 ADOPT MOYA FOR A LIFETIME Juba Juba is a Zulu word for ‘fast’- ‘Ejuba’ means pigeon and these birds are very fast and agile fliers. This male cheetah can be relaxed when it comes to interaction with people and he is very comfortable around children. Being the more subordinate male in the coalition, he is sometimes easier to work with. Although Juba is quite calm the majority of the time, he is a typical cat and definitely lets you know when you have rubbed him up the wrong way. As mentioned, the two brothers can be difficult to tell apart but Juba is a much darker shade than his brother and has black fur at the tip of his tail.
