Frame, G.W.
Cheetah social organization in the Serengeti ecosystem, Tanzania
1980  Conference Proceeding

This is a report on some of the results of a cheetah study that I did in northern Tanzania, East Africa, from late 1973 until early 1978. Other aspects of the cheetah research are still in preparation. Specifically, I will here describe the cheetah social groupings, ranges, dispersal, territoriality, and evidence of hierarchies within male groups. Then I will speculate on why this social system evolved.
