Cheetah cubs live with puppies to alleviate social anxiety

According to the British "Mirror" reported on June 15, although the cheetah is called a powerful predator in the animal world, they sometimes become anxious and unable to socialize, and eventually avoid their own kind. Recently, a zoo in the United States adopted a cheetah cub named Rozi. It seemed to have "social phobia". In order to alleviate this situation, the zoo arranged a healing dog for it.

Next, Rozi will live with the puppy Daisy adopted by the Animal Rescue Foundation. Linda said: "Dogs can provide cheetah cubs with the company that cannot be given and social opportunities that humans cannot give. In the first few months, it is important to establish contact and trust, so we will always accompany Rozi. After it recovers, we will wait for it to recover. I will participate in the zoo's "Capital" event held by other cheetahs. "

The goal of the Cheetah Breeding Center is to protect cheetah population to prevent them from extinction. As of now, the organization has helped 8 cheetah cubs grow up healthily. It is understood that the number of global cheetahs has decreased from 100,000 in the 20th century to 9,000 to 12,000 today. The reduction of habitats, the lack of prey, and the threat of human beings increased their risk of extinction. (Compilation report of China Youth Network)
