Pippa's Challenge
by: Adamson, Joy
Pippa, the Spotted Sphinx, and her descendants are the chief characters
of Joy Adamson's new and absorbing book which proves conclusively that
a wild cheetah which has been tamed can not only be rehabilitated to its
heritage in the bush but can breed, and thus offer hope to a species faced
with the prospect of gradual extinction. After Pippa's tragic death the
author succeeded in keeping in touch with the survivors of two of her
litters and in doing so. not only did she have many exciting, and sometimes
dangerous, adventures but she also learned a number of facts about the
development and the behaviour of cheetah that were hitherto unknown; in
particular she was able to record the beginning of sexual behaviour and
mating habits which have up to now never been witnessed in the wild. Describing
her day to day life during the years she spent on this study Joy Adamson
also tells of many extraordinary happenings unrelated to cheetah. But
above all, this is the story of. the cheetah and of the way of saving
these magnificent animals from extinction by breeding them under natural
conditions.
