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.
