Abstract

Live capture, tagging, and sampling of free-ranging animals are important means of acquiring health, genetic, and ecological data for wildlife conservation and management. We summarize best-practice procedures for capture, anesthesia, handling, sample collection, and marking of cheetahs. In all capture events involving anesthesia, data collection should be maximized, such as preferentially deploying global positioning system (instead of radio) collars, collecting biomedical samples, and recording morphometric measurements. Standardization of protocols, data collection, and the methods used to individually identify animals are essential and facilitate comparative and collaborative data analyses. We provide procedural guidelines and online links for protocols and data-recording sheets that we recommend for routine use in cheetah capture and processing operations.
