The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland has revealed that Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed its first cheetah in 24 years, and visitors will be able to see Cleo for themselves in the coming days.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland announced on Friday the addition of five-year-old cheetah Cleo. The animal arrived in Edinburgh from Fota Wildlife Park in Ireland on Thursday, and is currently "settling into her new home" according to keepers.
In celebration of her arrival, the wildlife conservation charity has launched a prize draw campaign. The winner will be among the first to meet Cleo up close, as well as being able to feed a choice of other amazing animals at the zoo. "Every entry into our prize draw helps our charity create a world where nature is protect, valued and loved, and offers a fantastic personalised opportunity to experience the zoo and our animals."
