4 Month Old Cheetah Cubs - Cincinnati Zoo
Did you know that Cincinnati Zoo is one of 10 facilities that are part of the Cheetah Breeding Centers Coalition? This group shares ideas about cheetah husbandry management, breeding and research. These AZA breeding centers, all members of the Cheetah Species Survival Plan (SSP), work together to maintain and grow a genetically diverse population of this endangered feline species in North America. We're proud to share that one of our cheetahs became a first-time mom at our breeding center! The cubs (two boys and one girl) recently hit their 16-week milestone and are doing great. They will stay at the farm (which is not open to the public) with their mom for a couple years until they become subadults ready to tackle their own journeys in life. In the meantime, we will work with the SSP to figure out what will be best for each of them.
