00:01We're going to do an ultrasound on a female cheetah, Makenna.
00:05She's a hand-raised cat, which is why we can do this.
00:08We have hand-raised, we tried to hand-raise in such a way that they would know they're cheetahs
00:12because the ultimate goal for these four was to breed.
00:15Being that she's a hand-raised cat, I'm one of the original people that have hand-raised her her whole
00:19life,
00:19so I know we have a very strong bond and I know how much that I can get away with
00:24with her, if you will.
00:25She's very used to me being with her and touching her anywhere,
00:28which is why we have fostered this her entire life,
00:31building to this moment of hopefully she'll be pregnant and we could do this.
00:34The importance of the ultrasound is because we weren't sure if it had been done before
00:38and, again, given the bond that we have, we wanted to try it.
00:43Hi. Still me.
00:47It's tricky enough to get a female cheetah pregnant.
00:49Often the hormones indicate that they're pregnant and it might not carry through.
00:52They might end up with no cubs at the end.
00:54Are they absorbing it, reabsorbing it, or is there a pseudo-pregnancy going on?
00:58So the idea of the ultrasound is one, would she allow it?
01:02Number two, if she does, we're going to be able to see roughly how many cubs are in there.
01:06We can confirm two fetuses are in there.
01:09It is challenging to confirm more than that.
01:12I have seen them move and spin.
01:13I have seen one kick.
01:15Last week, we actually saw the heartbeats.
01:18We saw two heartbeats, which was awesome.
01:21And the vet was saying that as the fetuses are developing more,
01:25that's why we can now see the heartbeats.
01:27That's probably too, V.
01:27You should be on another call.
01:27So you could do something, so the iPhone.
