‘Did The Last One Get Eaten?’: Internet Laughs At African Cheetah Monitor Job Vacancy
An African wildlife conservancy is hiring a full-time cheetah monitor to track and care for cheetahs in the wild.
Panyame Wildlife Conservancy, located in Mozambique, is getting a lot of attention online after posting a unique job opening on social media. The conservancy, known for its cheetah reintroduction efforts, announced that it is looking to hire a full-time cheetah monitor, but the internet has found the job description amusing and misunderstood it in the funniest way.
On July 15, the conservancy shared an Instagram post about the vacancy. The role involves tracking and monitoring cheetahs across the vast land of the conservancy, taking care of them in bomas (enclosures), and working closely with anti-poaching teams.
What the Job Actually Involves
The job requirements are fairly standard: applicants must be fluent in English, physically fit, and “bush-ready", meaning comfortable working in the wild. They should also have experience with Excel and data handling. Knowing Portuguese and Shona is considered a bonus.
“We’re Hiring – Full-Time Cheetah Monitor. Join the Panyame Cheetah Project in the heart of wild Mozambique," the post reads. “We’re looking for a committed, hands-on field assistant to live full-time at our remote bush camp and help monitor, track, and care for the cheetahs we’ve translocated to the Panyame Conservancy. From feeding cheetahs in the bomas to tracking them across 210,000 hectares using telemetry and EarthRanger, this is real conservation in action," the post adds.
