The Cincinnati Zoo reported the death of a mother cheetah, Willow, who died March 22 after undergoing a rare Cesarean section two weeks ago.
Following the surgery, Willow, “remained lethargic and lost her appetite over the weekend,” before finally passing away.
But Willow’s five cheetah cubs survived.
They need the exercise to build muscle tone and get their guts moving.
