King Cheetah--Taronga Western Plains Zoo





Is Tarongo keeping their Cheetahs and King's together? That seem's odd, unless possibly they are same sex animals, or the Cheetahs are hetro's.

Steve,
Thank you. Do you think it is odd that they are housing them together?

Wade - this is a government owned zoo. It is not for red-necked trailer trash like myself to offer a judgement on what these leaders of the industry get up to.

Given their penchant for such activities, it is not impossible that some knife-happy vet has already nutted the males.

We may have to wait until Glenn gets there next year to ascertain the true situation.

Just to confuse you [and the rest of the zoo going public] some genius decided that the Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo [out in the boondocks] should be renamed TARONGA Western Plains Zoo. Nobody would confuse that with the Taronga Zoo on the coast in Sydney, would they?

Steve,
That's not right that you are "red-necked trailer trash", if TWPZ is using "hillbilly birth control" on their Cheetahs, legally a procedure only performed by men with a Dundee doctorate.
You are spot on about the genius who renamed the Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo the Taronga Western Plains Zoo. Until recently, I just assumed TWPZ was a satellite breeding area for Taronga Zoo herds that couldn't swim, on the out skirts of Sydney, similar to "The Wilds" in Ohio.
