Two cheetah cubs being hand raised by animal care staff at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park are receiving around-the-clock care and bottle feedings at the Park’s Animal Care Centre. The female cubs were born to a cheetah at the Safari Park’s Cheetah Breeding Facility. As the mother, Allie, has been unsuccessful raising her previous litters, animal care staff made the decision to hand rear these littermates, born on 1 September.
The nearly three-week-old cubs are growing quickly and now weigh around 3 pounds each. They are becoming increasingly active now that their eyes are open and their vision is becoming clearer. Animal care staff says that these cubs are full of personality, noting that at only a few days old, the youngsters were already swatting and interacting with each other.
Every baby’s different, but these cheetahs really seem to be developing quickly in our eyes,
said Eileen Neff, lead keeper, San Diego Zoo Safari Park. They are great eaters, they started playing when they were just three or four days old. They could barely walk at that time, so it was pretty interesting seeing them tumbling around with each other.
These cubs with be animal ambassadors and each will be paired with a domestic dog for companionship, as are all ambassador cheetahs at the Safari Park and San Diego Zoo. The dog’s body language communicates to the cheetah that there’s nothing to fear in new or public surroundings, which relaxes and calms the cheetah — via Youtube

Introducing Gertrude the Octopus. She has a sordid past (used to attack ships, sailboats, submarines… pretty much anything that got in her way), but she is a changed octopus. She now leads underwater tours. Good girl. Gertrude is approximately 11 inches high (including her legs) — the perfect height to perform in a finger puppet play, adorn a decorative tree branch, or sit quietly wherever you choose to place her — via Etsy

A three-month-old fennec fox is full of energy and ready to play in the Children’s Zoo Nursery at the San Diego Zoo. The young male, who weighs just 680g, is in quarantine before training to serve as an animal ambassador for his species.
The nocturnal fox pup has spurts of energy, so animal care staff have been giving him lots of toys and food puzzles to help keep him busy. For example, meal worms are hidden in cardboard boxes or in his sand mound, which encourages the fox to use some of his natural searching and digging behaviours. The fox’s favourite toys to play with are small, plush toy mice — via Youtube
