In honor of International Cheetah Day on Sunday, December 4, we hope you'll join us in celebrating and raising awareness of this iconic species. At the Little Rock Zoo, we have a cheetah group:  Padfoot and Prongs (brothers) and Maggie (female).  

This group can be seen at the Cheetah Outpost each day: enjoying their habitats outfitted with anthills and great views of the veldt animals, playing with their toys and devouring daily treats.  They are looking forward to sharing their special day with their favorite guests! Some fun things to look for throughout the day include keeper chats, animal enrichment, an art opportunity, and educational visuals. All the fun will happen inside Cheetah Outpost.

Our cheetahs were feeling crafty and have created a few paintings for their human friends to enjoy! Enter for a chance to win – each ticket costs just $5. Donations are also welcome. All money will be collected inside the Cheetah Outpost during Cheetah Day activities between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm on Sunday, December 4^th. The winner will be announced at 12:00 and does not need to be present to win – they can pick up their painting at the front gate. Proceeds will be given to the Little Rock Zoo’s Enrichment Fund. Thank you for contributing to the Zoo!
