      Is this the only King Cheetah in the US? :)

      @Nix There are three, but all three live here. These two siblings have a king brother who also shares their habitat. In the adjacent enclosure is a female king, Mona Lisa, who is their grandmother. These three siblings are around two years old, so before they were born Mona Lisa was the only one in the USA for a while. Until she came here she was held at a private (now closed) facility called LEO, so there was a period of many years where Americans could not view a king cheetah. You can read more about it in my trip report here: Trip Report: Cats, Condors, Canyons - ZooChat
