Now for the fun part – every day the cheetahs get some sort of enrichment and today its bones! Bones are not only entertaining for the cheetahs but are also good for their teeth since their regular diet is ground meat.
The bones are kept in a freezer at the lion building so Kevin and I have to head across the zoo to get them.
Since the cheetahs are already outside, we just toss the bones over the fence to them. This will keep them busy for a while.
yummy!

We just found your blog a few days ago. My 6 year old daughter LOVES cheetahs. We’ve read the entire blog and LOVE the videos. Can’t wait for your next post. Went to the zoo today for the first time since it got hot (we’re members so we go often) and of course visited the cheetahs! Thanks for the blog. Jena and the kids.
