Cheetah Cub Meets Puppy
Ruuxa, a 6-week-old male cheetah at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, meets Raina, a 7-week-old Rhodesian ridgeback puppy. These two will be together 24 hours a day as they grow up. You’ve seen how cheetahs are often paired with a dog when they cannot grow up with their siblings. Ruuxa, who has no siblings and was rejected by his mother, has been chosen to be a “cheetah ambassador,” and the domestic dog will help keep him calm and socialized. -via Tastefully Offensive

They should have picked a Greyhound puppy. In a year or so, that cheetah is going to want a jogging partner.

Do they grow up to be long-life friends?
