CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — The Metro Richmond Zoo has announced the birth of six cheetah cubs to parents Zuri and Ramses.
Born on May 13 after a three-month gestation, the litter includes three males (Lagos, Bukavu, and Cairo) and three females (Matola, Kampala, and Lusaka).
After spending their first months at the zoo’s Cheetah Conservation Center, a private facility with 19 habitats dedicated to cheetah care, Zuri and her three-month-old cubs have moved to the public cheetah habitat in the zoo.
Zoo guests can now observe cheetah cubs up close with their mother and learn more about this species…
