Cheetah cubs growing up fast

The Zoo's two hand raised Cheetah cubs Mtoto and Ushindi are learning natural behaviours such as hunting.

 

Watch them in the water and the otters appear to be encased in a silver sheen. This is in fact a film of air bubbles that clings to the longer outer hairs covering their bodies.
