I felt like it was my lucky day when I spotted the beautiful Ilangha in the Animal Ambassador Area. She’s growing up fast, but at 8 months old she's sweetly petite. She still has some of her fluffy cub fur, called a mantle, which she will shed gradually during her first year and a half. I’ll never forget what a cute little ball of fur she was when I first saw her at 2 months old in the Safari Park nursery. This precious little girl is growing into a gorgeous young cheetah!
