Idir comes from the Berber tribe, as his name is common there and he is wearing beaded accessories like the Berber people make. Also, king cheetahs and the Berber tribe are both located in northern Africa.

Idir follows the tradition of making kilims. How to make kilims are passed down from one generation to the next. Kilims are flat-woven and can make many things. Each kilim is supposed to tell a story through symbols and if you know what the symbol stands for you can literally read the kilim.

Name: Chuabo (name of a tribe in South East Africa)
Which African tribe did he come from?: Bultoa. He came from Central- North Africa. I found him in the heat of the summer in blazing hot Central Africa. He was looking pretty well fed, for an animal of his size and age. He looked lonely and scared. He must have gotten separated from his tribe. so I got him, took him home, and took care of him.
What African custom/tradition does he always follow?: Chu is actually Christian, so he says a 2 minute long prayer at every meal with myself and Delegalis. It usually starts out with...

"Dear and gracious heavenly Father, we thank you for this day and all you have done for us. Thank you for this blessed food we are about to eat, let it nourish our bodies..."

After that, he asks for help on whatever is troubling him and/ or the family.
