Executive director of Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) Laurie Marker said: "If Aasha is pregnant, it will be her first litter, and because she was caught in the wild, it did happen in Namibia. If she has cubs, we need to give her privacy and quiet. No people around her. She should have a hay bale hut in her enclosure."

Yes, there is an indication of pregnancy, but we will have to wait a few weeks for confirmation," said an officer, requesting not to be named and pointing out that it takes 55 days for a confirmation.
