CHEETAH CUBS GREET THE WORLD
The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio proudly welcomed Tommy T, a 3-week-old cheetah, who arrived from the zoo's breeding facility at Mast Farm. Tommy and his two brothers were born Oct. 28 to proud mom Purdy, from the Columbus Zoo and dad Wild Boy, who lives at the Cincinnati Zoo. Visitors to the zoo can watch Tommy nap, play and drink formula from a bottle.
In January, Tommy will begin training to be a cat ambassador, which does not mean he can park illegally near the United Nations. Cat ambassadors are trained to interact with people from schools and organizations. He'll also learn how to chase a lure so he can make his debut next summer at an exhibit that allows visitors to watch cheetahs, the fastest land animal in the world, run at full speed. There are no plans at this time to put a staffer in with Tommy so we can watch a zookeeper run at full speed.
Here are the photos of the adorable cheetah cubs.
