Many of you may be familiar with Kris the cheetah being a star in our Cat Ambassador Program. She is well known for her incredible running speeds and her relationship with her companion dog, Remus. A week ago during her routine cheetah run in our encounter mid sprint Kris unexpectedly fell. It was shocking to all in attendance, her trainers included. She was quickly attended to by our vet team and transported to MedVet for an MRI. It was found that she had a partially ruptured intervertebral disc, and her spinal cord sustained some trauma. This caused her to lose mobility in her back legs in an instance during that run. When we first brought her back to the zoo she did not have any movement of her back legs or tail for the first few days. Over the past week we have seen some incredible improvement.
