Cute Baby Cheetah Cub-Cincinnati Zoo

"Nia Faye," the Cincinnati Zoo's 7-week-old, female African cheetah cub, is now on exhibit in the Zoo's nursery. She was born at the Zoo's regional cheetah breeding facility in Clermont County on July 2nd, but she had to be moved to the Zoo's Nursery after her mother, Purdy, could not provide adequate care. In an effort to get the cub back up to speed, Nursery staff bottle fed the cub six times each day until she was five weeks old. The cub is now eating meat with the help of the Nursery staff and she currently weighs six pounds.
