During December and January, to celebrate International Cheetah Day, the Five Sisters Zoo (FSZ) team, in collaboration with researcher Larissa Slaney from the Fit Cheetahs project at Heriot-Watt University , is aiming to raise £4000 to purchase new enrichment items for our four cheetah residents. This new enrichment will help our cheetahs to continue expressing their natural behaviours.
Ijubane, Velox, Artemis and Ashanti have lived at FSZ since 2022 and have become incredible ambassadors for their species. In this time, they have all contributed to important research that helps conservation efforts in wild cheetah habitats.
As part of the fundraising efforts, members of the FSZ team, along with Larissa, will be carrying out various fundraising activities in the coming weeks, including a 5k park run.
