How do these zoo animals feel about the cold weather? As far as I know, they wouldn't exactly be used to this kind of wind and rain; its fairly dry in Africa.
@MarieFace Every winter, the Philadelphia Zoo keepers give the cheetahs the option of staying in or going outside. They go out every day. Even when the snow is almost a foot deep, they walk around outside and look at the visitors, just like they do in the summer. They are 10 years old, and have been living in the Philadelphia Zoo since 2003. So I think they are proof that cheetahs can adapt quite well to cold climates!
You are very welcome. You can view some of the videos I have recorded of the Philadelphia Zoo cheetahs in the snow on my YouTube channel. Just type "cheetah" in the search box to see a list of all of them.

Hope there is lots of room for running, as that is what cheetahs DO!

@marianwhit yeah thats what they do when they are hunting. These cheetahs probably will never run unless something scares them.
