San, which means “nose” in Somali, was among 10 cheetah cubs rescued in October 2020 in Somaliland, after the arrest of a high-profile cheetah trafficker. Owning a pet cheetah is illegal in most countries—so when you see a pet cheetah on social media, know that they are most likely a victim of trafficking. Help combat the illegal wildlife trade by refusing to like, share, or comment on these posts, cutting off their potential reach.
