Even With Cheetahs, It’s Tough For Little Brothers to Keep Up With Older Brothers

Meet a trio of cubs rejected by their mother that the zoo is raising to be animal ambassadors.

Transcript

00:00I am extremely lucky to be in the Animal Care Center area

00:06because I have never in 22 years had the fortune of being able to raise cheetah cubs.

00:14We have the cubs in a large nursery area, which is very visible to the public.

00:24We have a trio that we're hand-raising to be animal ambassadors.

00:28Shaili, Taraji, and Johari were born May 24th.

00:35They were rejected by their mother, and we have the good fortune of being able to raise them here

00:41at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park.

00:45This is Lynn Diwe. She's our single cub, and she's three weeks younger,

00:50so she's got a lot of catching up to do, but she's pretty bold,

00:55and they play pretty rough with her, and she'll keep coming back for more.

01:02They eat, they play, and they catnap, and then they're ready to go again.

01:08What I really like about this is I'm helping an endangered species.

01:14I see the reaction of all the people that are out there, all the questions.

01:19So it does my soul a lot to get to it.

01:23Gracias por ver el video.
