Dear Mr King: Thank you so much for your program on cheetahs. Best wishes to you, the rangers and Toki.

Thank you Simon and Steven for this wonderful program.I hope Toki survives and fathers some cubs. We must keep his blood lines going. I was overcome and full of tears watching this incredible program.

I learned something new! It looks like some cheetas hunt in packs. I thought only lions did this. Also, some seem to form semi-permanent bonds with one another.

Without PBS how would we be able to see such incredible real life “Survivor” stories. A great presentation that parallels our our parental hopes and fears! Well done!

YOur program made me cry. It brought forth so many different emotions. Both toki and sambu were like children of your own and you watched them grow, i loved your program but i wish sambu was still here.

Mr king you have made a excellent documentary showing these magnificent creatures in their natural surroundings. It bought tears to my eyes seeing Toki’s brother Sambu killed by a lion and at the end of the show immense pleasure to hear that he is doing well in his new home. I wish you luck in making many more amazing documentaries showing how truly incredible nature really is.

Love cheetah’s. Grew up on a farm surrounded by game farms back in South Africa. They are just the most beautifull of cats!!!
