Acknowledgments
The contributions of Andrei Mihalca, Carolyn Farquhar, and Patricia Tricorache were essential for sample collection, CITES permits, and logistics. The help and guidance of the Cheetah Conservation Fund was invaluable and we look forward to working with them in the future. We thank Chantel Gryba and Jessica Fehr for sample preparation and for assistance in stable isotope analyzes.
