The Cincinnati zoo is adding a new animal to the roster and you would think it would be some exotic animal but its actually a puppy.
There is a new cheetah cub in the facility and the puppy is being brought in to keep Rozi the cub company .
The pup Daisy was adopted from Animal rescue Fund Inc. and now has found her forever home at the Cincinnati zoo.
Daisy isn't the only pup who gets to hang with the cheetahs. Kris another cheetah at the zoo also grew up with a dog as their companion. The zoo shares videos and photos of the two playing.
Rozi was welcomed to the facility back in may, the zoo revealed they were going to take over care after mother couldn't care for the cub.
"Say hello to our newest cheetah ambassador! Radiographs prior to the cub's birth revealed that the mom, who lives at Wildlife Safari in Oregon, was carrying a single cub," the Cincinnati Zoo wrote. "When a single cub is born, the mom will not produce enough milk for it to survive. Knowing that the cub would need to be hand-reared, the cheetah Species Survival Plan (SSP) identified Cincinnati Zoo as the best place for this cub to be raised."
"Our neonate team will be caring for the female, four-week-old cub behind the scenes, but you can keep up with her progress right here," the zoo added, noting that it will keep animal fans updated with videos and photos of the cub as she grows. "Once the cub is older, she will be a part of our Cat Ambassador Program (CAP) and join our other running cheetah ambassadors in the Cheetah Encounter."
Watch the sweet interaction.
