Cover description: A reproductively healthy, free‐ranging cheetah with her offspring. Reproductive health and activity of reproductive organs in cheetah females is determined by the female's reproductive history, and cub survival is high in predator‐free habitats. This might have important implications for captive breeding and re‐introduction programs. Photograph by Bettina Wachter.
