The conservancy, which is deeply involved in cheetah reintroduction, recently advertised a position for a full-time cheetah monitor \u2014 but it&#8217;s the public\u2019s hilarious misinterpretation of the listing that\u2019s stealing the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p> On July 15, the conservancy uploaded an Instagram post detailing the vacancy. The role includes tracking cheetahs across the expansive conservancy, caring for them in enclosures known as bomas, and collaborating with anti-poaching units.<\/p>\n<p> The qualifications for the job are pretty straightforward: candidates should be fluent in English, physically capable, and \u201cbush-ready,\u201d meaning they must be comfortable with remote wilderness living. Familiarity with Excel and handling data is also required, while proficiency in Portuguese and Shona is considered advantageous.<\/p>\n<p> The post reads, \u201cWe\u2019re Hiring \u2013 Full-Time Cheetah Monitor. Join the Panyame Cheetah Project in the heart of wild Mozambique.\u201d It continues, \u201cWe\u2019re 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\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> The post quickly took off online, racking up more than 41,000 likes, 64,000 shares, and a flood of amusing comments. Many users hilariously misread or mocked the job description.<\/p>\n<p> One user quipped, \u201cDo the cheetahs speak English and use Excel, or do I have to train them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Another added, \u201cDo they respond to pspspsps?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Some took a darker (yet funny) turn, wondering about previous jobholders: \u201cWhat happened to the last employees?\u201d and \u201cDid the last one get eaten?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Highlighting the fitness requirement, a user joked, \u201cPhysically fit? Do I need to run with them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> And in a nod to remote work culture, someone playfully asked, \u201cCan I take my cheetah home if I\u2019m working from home?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Job Vacancy For Cheetah Monitor At Panyame Wildlife Conservancy Goes Viral (Image Source &#8211; Panyame Wildlife Conservanc\/Instagram) Panyame&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[64,63,24202,24201,24198,24200,1202,4693,24203,24205,24204,24199,128,24206,3229,4050,338],"class_list":{"0":"post-24474","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-bomas","11":"tag-bush","12":"tag-cheetah","13":"tag-earthranger","14":"tag-instagram","15":"tag-job","16":"tag-mozambique","17":"tag-panyame-cheetah-project","18":"tag-panyame-conservancy","19":"tag-posting","20":"tag-science","21":"tag-shona","22":"tag-times-now","23":"tag-viral","24":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
