"Ruuxa and Raina, now just over four months old, were placed together at
four and five weeks of age, respectively, to be raised as ambassador
animals after the cheetah cub was rejected by his mother and had to be
hand raised by keepers. Safari Park ambassador cheetahs are paired with
a domestic dog for companionship, and the dog's body language helps
communicate to the cheetah that there is nothing to fear in new or
public surroundings, which relaxes and calms the cheetah."
