ANIMALS YOU CAN ADOPT:
Crunchie - Cheetah
Crunchie was entrusted to DAKTARI by the HESC -Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre.
He is 13 years old and was involved in a reproduction program aimed at species preservation. Through this initiative, several cheetahs have been reintroduced into the wild to diversify genetic lines within game reserves and prevent inbreeding, as cheetah populations in Africa are closely genetically related.
He arrived at DAKTARI in April 2024!
Telo the Lion
Telo was found as abandoned cub and taken to a rehabilitation centre. His brother Duma sadly passed away on March 2025, letting him be the only lion here in DAKTARI.
He was hand raised and unfortunately because of his close contact with humans, he lost his fear of humans and could not be reintroduced back into the wild. The only solution was to give this boy a second chance of living happily and peacefully at the rehabilitation centre for the rest of his life.
