🐆 A little higher, a little closer to the action! Young Dash, one of our beautiful cheetahs here at Felidae Centre, carefully makes her way onto a fallen log to get the perfect lookout point. 👀 Cheetahs may be known for their incredible speed, but they are also curious and observant animals. A higher position gives Dash the opportunity to watch everything happening around her, while the rough bark of the log provides the perfect place for a little claw maintenance! 🐾 Sharpening and maintaining their claws is an important natural behaviour. Unlike many other cats, cheetahs have semi-retractable claws, which help them gain extra grip and traction when running at incredible speeds. It is moments like these that remind us how important enrichment and natural environments are for the animals in our care. Every log, tree, platform and rock can become an opportunity to explore, climb, observe and simply express natural behaviours. ❤️ At Felidae, our volunteers and visitors don’t just see the animals, they get to experience these special everyday moments and learn about the incredible personalities behind every set of spots and whiskers. Dash definitely knows that sometimes the best view comes from climbing just a little bit higher! 🐆🌿 #FelidaeCentre #Cheetah #Dash #WildlifeConservation #AnimalEnrichment - @felidaecentre
