Our cheetahs Trich and Jesiri had their first carcass feeding last week. This was also a multi-day enrichment process for them. Our animal care teams played distressed animal sounds during the days leading up to the feeding to peak their interest. Blood trails were spread throughout the habitat to tap into their hunting skills. The result was two very happy cheetahs with full tummies 🥳
