Kate joins the vets and keepers as they head up to the cheetah house to check on Wilma, one of the great success stories at the park. Cheetahs are famously the world’s fastest land mammal, but they are also considered vulnerable to extinction, partly due to a lack of genetic diversity that has resulted in a poor success rate for live births. Against the odds, however, Wilma has been an astonishing mother raising multiple cubs, many of which have gone on to be parents to other cheetahs, adding substantially to the worldwide breeding programme. So, it’s a desperate blow when Kate and the team discover that 14-year-old Wilma’s kidneys are functioning poorly. The kidney disease is irreversible, so now the team must find ways for Wilma to live out her days in the most comfortable way as they also celebrate her extraordinary life.
