Cheetah + Labrador Retriever / Busch Gardens

Monday, 16 April marked the one-year anniversary of the first time Busch Gardens guests got to see Kasi an 8-week-old male cheetah cub, and Mtani, a 16-week-old female yellow Labrador puppy, start to strike up a friendship that the park’s animal experts expect to last a lifetime. Now, a year later, they live together full time at the park’s Cheetah Run habitat and even travel together to schools, events and television studios, helping the park’s education team teach the public about the plight of cheetahs in the wild and the importance of Busch Gardens’ conservation efforts. — via ZooBorns
