It hurts me to see people against the treatment of animals at the sd zoo. These people are extremely knowable on these animals and know their behaviors. If any animal in a show displays signs of being uncomfortable they would shut it down right away.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for every zoo. Cheetahs are very needy and require a lot of attention, something zoos often can't provide. Having dog companions is the perfect substitute, though which is great. I really hope they can solve the Cheetah breeding problem. They are really a precious and affectionate animal.
This brings back so many memories! My family lived in California, near San Diego, from late 2003 to late 2005, and we would often visit the zoo or the Wild Animal Park.
Yup. Dogs always take the dominant role of the pair believe it or not. Cheetah are a lot like dogs but shy. Dogs are always mellow and confidant hence why they make perfect friends. The Cheetah always looks to the dog for confidence and receives it. That's incredibly important because Cheetah will not breed if they're too stressed. But we have figured out how to overcome that thankfully.
Unfortunately they STILL play this. It was cool back when it was cool but the Zoo hasn't gotten up to date on the times at least with music. Still the rest of the zoo is pretty nice :D
I like the fact that 90% of the comments here are like "zoos are bad! Free the animals!" From animal activists who think they know better If you free those animals, all those animals gonna have to be put down because of too much human exposure, on top of the fact that some zoos have breeding programs to help endangered species get their numbers up
Cheetahs have one of the most powerful jaws in the feline world pound for pound, they routinely drag prey up into trees in order to keep hem from lions, heyenas and painted dogs
I know leopards do that but cheetahs do also. When I first heard it I had the same reaction you did, but then I did some research (aka youtube search) and they actually do. Its pretty amazing.
@@nsrivatsa5167 Cheetahs jaws are stronger than the dog next to her but I don't think Cheetahs drag their prey up trees, either. They aren't strong enough even if their jaws are.
1: the strongest feline jaws goes to jaguars, which are native to the americas 2: cheetahs can't climb, at least not very well 3: leopards routinely drag their prey up into trees to keep away from hyenas, lions and painted dogs
@@reyperez5362 They're so critically endangered we're really wondering if anything we can do will save them. Their numbers just keep plummeting. The farmers continuing to spread out aren't very bright. They are not in the least concerned about making investments that will create better farms, they just keep acquiring more land to substitute poor farming methods.
That cheetah was rescued by San Diego Park because he was rejected by his mother in the wild. Of course, if you wanted nature to take its course, then he would have obviously died out there. Human intervention in this case helped save his life.
Shut up moron! The San Diego Zoo has saved countless species from extinction! Think about it, poachers murder wildlife but in zoos, wildlife is safe from them! SeaWorld also saves marine life! I have a membership to both parks!
you're an idiot Galactusgirl how does Sea World saves wild animals in captivity? it's like saying correctional facility saves humans in captivity... those animals were born to be free.. why don't they lock your stupid ass up in captivity and let me see how you and your families would feel?... yeah feed me Prozac instead of regular meals... :)
idontsignin unless countries in Africa and elsewhere introduces strict rules and regulations for poachers and hunters then yes we will see them goes into extinctions, fortunately, most ccountries todaynow have rules and regulations
Once again, you are proving how brainless you are! There are strict laws about poaching but poachers are still murdering these creatures! If the SD Zoo is so bad, then why are there more California condors? And why was a new orangutan and giraffe born there? Plus, there aren't any concrete cages but exhibits representing their habitats. If you love nonhuman creatures, then don't support PETA!
