When cheetah cubs Zola & Lulu are not eating or sleeping (which are both super cute) they like to teeth on various toys. Sometimes when they sleep, their little feet move as if they're dreaming! They also enjoy playing together and cuddling up near one another for naps & being with their care staff, slowly learning to walk towards them and enjoy getting socialization time with their keepers. Both cubs are getting better at walking and moving around and will be running around the nursery before we know it! #cheetah #babyanimals #cincinnatizoo #zookeeper
Fiona and Fritz try a a snow cone! Due to long stretches of cold weather in Cincinnati, the hippo care team has approved the hippos to go outside for a short period of time so they can stretch and get some exercise! Their pool is heated so they are nice and warm when they are in the water. Keeper Jacey made sure it wasn’t icy and cleared them a path in the snow to the water and keeper Mark gave them snacks and snowballs at the training wall!
