Acinonyx jubatus

WPZ witnessed the birth four cheetah cubs (2 male & 2 female) in October 2004. Mother 'Malika' and father 'Jala' both came here from De Wildt Cheetah Sanctuary in South Africa. The adorable and mischievous cubs are called 'Asali' ( whose name means honey), 'Sunzu' (highest point in Tanzania), 'Jambo' (hello) and 'Moyo' (heart). 'Jambo' and 'Moyo' will travel to Hamilton Zoo in New Zealand in 2007 as part of the regional breeding program.
