Last year, the Cincinnati Zoo’s Cat Ambassador program got a new baby cheetah, named Nia. She had her first birthday last month, and is running in the shows. I got to see her run for the first time today. She has it down!
She can catch a lure.
Of course, she also likes treats…does her trainer have one?
(I think that is Linda, the person who writes their blog and tweets.)
Chance, an older cheetah, also ran. For a portion of each stride, all for paws of a running cheetah are off the ground. Chance demonstrates this well.
Chance took his “kill” into the shade for…what does he do when he catches the lure (oh yeah…wait for a trainer to bring a treat).
Jambo the serval demonstrates how he could get a bird flying by.
With all the cubs gone, the fishing cats can relax.
A black footed cat tries to see how long he can stretch out to.
The snow leopard was shy today, busy bathing herself.
Those are amazing shots!
