Nursery Dog Steps in as Surrogate Parent to Cheetah Cubs at the Cincinnati Zoo
This article is about Willow, a five-year-old Cheetah and her cubs. Willow was not able to survive after an emergency C-section, but she was able to produce 5 cheetah cubs to help the species survival. It is cool how the zoos today use dogs as surrogate parents if needed. Blakely the Australian Shepherd that is being used at the Cincinnati Zoo, has experience with cheetahs, warthogs, aardvarks, wallabies, and ocelots.
