we have bought land in africa to make it safe for the cheetah. we have given money to many cheetah projects in africa where cheetahs are saved from traps. this funny little zoo on the ohio river has made a big difference in cheetah conservation. on this june day, national geographic is using special slow-motion cameras racing alongside the cheetahs on a 410-foot track hoping to capture a new world record sprint. cheetahs are the fastest animal in the world because they are built for speed. hilker gets cheetahs to run fast in captivity by simulating the conditions in africa where cheetahs chase their prey. only her system uses an artificial lure. do you want this? that lure system, which we use to pull the string with the dog pulley on it so that pulls the string fast enough that the cat can chase it.
ever recorded for the 100-meter dash. and on this day, conditions may be right for a new world record. i think it was upper 80s. it was a warm day. more than 50 cheetahs have been bred here at the mast farm. they are found in africa for the most part. there is a small population of them in the middle east. but they are primarily a savanna species. they like open areas. hilker has loved cheetahs her entire life. i saw cheetahs in our cincinnati zoo in cages when i was a little girl. cheetahs are one of the word s most endangered cats. from 100,000 in the early 1900s, down to 10,000 today. that s a terrible slip. sarah is one of the stars of the cincinnati zoo s cat ambassador program in schools, helping to raise funds and awareness.
the cincinnati zoo is proud to have one of the world s leading cheetah conservation programs. we say we are the cheetah capital of the world. all thanks to legendary program founder, catherine hilker this is the cat that i snatched. and cat ambassadors like sarah. we put a pink ribbon around her neck so i could tell her apart. she starts to pace back and forth and back and forth because she knows she is going to run. hilker came up with a common sense but novel concept, if a cat like sara is born for speed, then let her run. go, go, go. go, go, go. there are no cheetahs in cages at our zoos. no cheetahs in cages anymore. when cheetahs are forced to lie around, they gain weight, they don t look good. they lose a lot of their sparkle. our cats have sparkle. sarah owns the fastest time
