Description
The new Cheetah exhibit is open at Busch Gardens....you're all doomed now!

Facts from the keepers...they have 13 yearling cheetahs, all female, and one male cub who's only a few months old. He was in New York yesterday for an appearance on The Today Show so you all lucked out there. Surely that reduced the photo-dump by a great deal.

In any case even the keepers have a hard time telling the cheetahs apart. The whole world's cheetah population is descended from a mere 500 ancestors. They are very much an inbred species. The 13 young ladies Busch Gardens has will be part of a fastidious breeding program designed to maximize the genetic diversity of the world's remaining cats.

Certainly this young lady knows she's important.
