In 1900 there were only about 100,000 cheetah worldwide - present estimates place their number at 10 to 15 thousand with about 1/10 of those living in captivity. Namibia has the largest population of wild cheetah - about 2500. Smaller populations exist in Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania while 19 other countries have even fewer.

7500 cheetahs left in the world, 2500 of them are in Namibia

and Asia. This species is dwindling quickly and zoologists are working hard at trying to improve the amount of surviving cheetahs (generally 6 pups to a litter.)

There were 100,000 cheetahs at the turn of the century (1900). Now, there are an estimated 10,000 - 12,000 cheetahs left in the wild. The largest population of cheetahs are in Namibia.

There are two cheetah subspecies alive today, the African cheetah and the Asiatic cheetah. There are about 12,500 cheetahs in Sub-Saharan Africa. The only Asiatic cheetahs left are a population of 70 to 100 that live in Iran.

The actual population of an species is difficult to quantify and all population numbers are estimates. Various sources place the possible total cheetah population at 9,000-10,000 mature adults. Add immature cheetahs and the population is unlikely to rise above 12,000.

The only Asiatic cheetahs left in the wild live in Iran. Recent research shows that there are only about 70 to 100 of them left in the wild. Because there are no Asiatic cheetahs in zoos, they are in dire straights. Their conservation status is Critically Endangered.
