new at the Zoo New to Africa cheetah run Did you know that cheetahs can accelerate to speeds of up to 100 kmhr in just three seconds At the Zoo our cheetahs have the luxury of eating balanced meals that dont run away and while this ensures proper nutrition for our cheetahs it doesnt fill their appetite for running. NEW this summer watch as we train our cheetahs for our newly developed cheetah lure run in their exhibit. Be sure to stop by for the 100 pm Cheetah Keeper Talk to hear about their training progress Ankole-watusi cattle new to African Savanna Meet our Ankole-Watusi a type of domestic cattle originating from the Sahara region in Africa. These cattle are a very social species and glum together in tight groups. Spotting them isnt difficult as their horns can measure over 2.4 metres in length These horns are not only a defense mechanism but they actually keep them cool. With a honey-combed interior of blood vessels that act as radiators their horns cool the blood as it circulates through which allows them to tolerate extreme temperatures. Be sure to watch for them in our former giraffe exhibit in the African Savanna New National Geographic Augmented Reality National Geographic presents Air Land and Sea an INDE Appshaker experience. Centered around a dynamic ever-changing watering hole the experience allows you to meet a diverse range of animals from Africa to the Arctic as they graze drink and interact with the environment around them. This experience is making its worldwide debut at the Toronto Zoo this summer. Paired with stunning photography from National Geographic visitors will not only be able to interact with these animals they will have a opportunity to learn more about these critical species and their environments. Our gnu blue wildebeest Abercrombie Benedict and Charleston are three of the newest residents in the Zoos African Savanna visible on the walk to the Canadian Domain. These three brothers are the first blue wildebeest also known as white-bearded gnus that we have ever housed at the Zoo. This species is known for their spectacular migration across the Serengeti and for kicking up their heels in excitement. These antelope seem just as excited to be here as we are to have them
