New Cheetah Ambassadors
The third sister to Zola and Lulu will be staying here at the Cincinnati Zoo. Her name is Kiara which means “princess” in Swahili. She is perhaps the most bold of the three, and is picking up her training very quickly. She will continue to grow, train and become an ambassador with her sisters here and will one day be a part of the running program where she will reach speeds of up to 70mph! Seeing a cheetah run full speed is something you’ll never forget, and we hope inspires people to want to help save the cheetah. Just like we hope sharing their stories of growing up at the zoo will as well!
Otter snacking on shrimp
Flounder the Asian small-clawed otter snacking on shrimp 🦐.
Asian small-clawed otters are opportunistic feeders with a varied diet. They primarily enjoy aquatic prey, such as crustaceans, mollusks, fish, insects, and small amphibians.
They are skilled hunters and often work in groups to find and catch food, using their dexterous paws to break open shells or catch slippery fish.

The cheetah cubs got to visit Elephant Trek, the zoo's newest and largest habitat. The elephants were fascinating to the cubs who loved watching them walking around. This is great enrichment for the cubs and a chance to expand their world and show them new things!
We’re careful when giving Rico scratches, but turns out he’s careful scratching himself too.
Happy Birthday Sanjay!
