Cheetah Cub 3
And finally, the reason that I made sure to stop at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2009.
This little girl born alone. Normally, a cheetah mom will not produce enough milk to sustain a singleton. It appears to be an adaptation to get her to have another, large litter as soon as possible. This little girl was being hand raised in the nursery and has since grown into a beautiful young lady. As you can tell from the photos, even back then she was very interested in people and her surroundings. I spent more than an hour with her that day.
