Cheetah Triplets Bring Action to Vienna Zoo Schönbrunn

They chase each other across the enclosure, bravely climb rocks, and curiously explore their surroundings: The three-month-old cheetah triplets at the Schönbrunn Zoo have developed from shy youngsters into real bundles of energy.

"Following the development of the young animals is incredibly exciting," reports the zoo. "At first, they were just tentative exploration tours, but now the three are real adventurers."

Cheetah Trio Becomes Children's Book Star

Appropriately, the young animals are the focus of the newly released children's book "The Little Zoo Explorer – Volume 5". On 64 pages, children learn exciting facts about cheetahs, their lifestyle, and their habitat. Authentic photos from Schönbrunn accompany the stories.

It explains, among other things, why cheetahs are among the fastest land animals, what they use their long tail for, and why cheetah cubs initially have a striking silvery-gray mane on their back.

Book with a Focus on Conservation

The book offers not only knowledge but also fun: Children can match shadow pictures, design a colorful cheetah, or solve quiz questions. This way, learning is combined with entertainment.

An important concern of the book is also raising awareness about the endangered habitat of cheetahs. In child-friendly language, it explains how habitat loss and poaching endanger the animals – and the role zoos like Schönbrunn play in building a reserve population.

"The Little Zoo Explorer. Cheetah" by photographer Daniel Zupanc is now available in the zoo shops at the zoo and in the zoo's online shop at www.zoovienna.at/shop for 7.99 euros (KIKO Verlag, ISBN 978-3-902644-20-6).
