Happy International Cheetah Day!
Did you know? Cheetahs are the fastest land animal on Earth, reaching speeds of 70 mph! While running, cheetahs rely on their tails to change direction fast, similar to a rudder on a ship. A cheetah can only run at these top speeds for about 30 seconds before they become exhausted.
While they may be fast, cheetahs cannot outrun the effects of habitat loss caused by humans. Only 10% of the cheetah's native habitat remains suitable for them to survive. This has caused a 90% decline in the cheetah population since 1900, with only 7,000 cheetahs remaining in the wild today. Cheetahs are the most endangered of Africa's large cats.
But you can help Cheetahs!
You can support the wellbeing of the cheetahs in our care by visiting the Good Zoo, buying a zoo membership, volunteering at the zoo, or supporting the zoo’s conservation programs 👉 https://bit.ly/3VpqMnU
If you are interested in learning more about cheetahs and their conservation, you can book an encounter with the cheetahs and their keeper on our website under the animal encounters page here 👉https://oglebay.com/good-zoo/animal-encounters/ You can also visit the Cheetah Conservation Fund website and learn what else you can do to help cheetahs in the wild!

Amazing news for nursing mommas! The Highmark West Virginia Charitable Fund has funded the installation of a Mamava Pod lactation station at the Oglebay Good Zoo, which will provide nursing mothers with a private and comfortable space for breastfeeding or pumping during their zoo visits. The addition of the Mamava Pod underscores the zoo’s commitment to making family visits more enjoyable for everyone, which includes removing barriers for those bringing young children to the zoo. Thank you Highmark for this incredible addition!

Are you excited for Boo at the Zoo?😎 Boo at the Zoo is presented by the Wheeling Dairy Queens and Hartley Law Group PLLC.

🌿 Exciting news from Oglebay Good Zoo! Last week, we released over 100 Eastern hellbenders into local streams, returning them to their birthplace as part of a collaborative conservation effort with Williams, West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, West Liberty University and The Wilds. The Eastern hellbender, North America's largest salamander, has faced significant population declines due to sedimentation from deforestation, disease, and historic misconceptions. For over two decades, we've partnered with the WVDNR on hellbender research, making history in 2007 as the first zoo in the world to successfully hatch Eastern hellbenders in human care. Together, we're working to protect and restore these incredible creatures! 🌎💧 #Conservation #Wildlife #EasternHellbender #OglebayGoodZoo

A new cotton-top tamarin has joined the family at the Good Zoo! Mother, Virginia, and father, Mateo, welcomed a baby that will join the parents as well as a sister, Remi, and brother, Mingo, in the cotton-top tamarin habitat in the main building of the zoo. You can still see the baby tamarin on either Virginia or Mateo’s back when you come to the zoo. Male cotton-top tamarins are exceptional fathers, carrying the offspring frequently. In fact, Remi and Mingo will also assist with caring for their sibling in a strategy known as alloparenting that will help them develop skills to assist with parenting their own offspring in the future! The zoo cares for cotton-top tamarins as a part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Plan. If you’d like to assist with cotton-top tamarin conservation, you can become a Good Zoo member👉 https://oglebay.com/good-zoo/membership/ , volunteer at the zoo 👉https://oglebay.com/good-zoo/zoo-volunteers, or purchase some of the products from Proyecto Titi (Proyecto Tití: Conserving the Cotton-top Tamarin in Colombia > Home (proyectotiti.com) that are sold in the zoo gift shop!

Mirabel and Pablo aren’t so sure about their Christmas presents! We give the animals “presents” as part of our animal wellbeing program. We aim to ensure that our animals are happy, comfortable, and healthy. One way we do this is by giving them enrichment to encourage natural behaviors like foraging.
