OUDTSHOORN NEWS - No, you didn't read that headline wrong! At the Cango Wildlife Ranch three newborn cheetah cubs recently had the chance to view the Web Ellis Trophy won by the Springboks at the Rugby World Cup (RWC) in France as it made its way to Oudtshoorn on Monday, 11 December.

According to Tammy Moult from Cango Wildlife Ranch Ubuntu, a 4-year-old cheetah who resides at Cango Wildlife Ranch and Conservation Centre, gave birth to 3 beautiful and healthy cheetah cubs just days after the RWC victory.

Much to the delight and excitement of local Springbok supporters, Hennie Baartman, Executive Member of Rugby South Africa, toured to Oudtshoorn on Monday with the brilliantly glowing RWC trophy. “During his visit, he was kind enough to share the moment with us and our little litter. He was kind enough to let us all experience the presence of the Web Ellis trophy.”
