Cheetahs get teeth into new feeding-time fun

THEIR couch potato attitude to mealtimes is now a thing of the past. Instead of being virtually spoon-fed, the cheetahs at Fota Wildlife Park are having to chase their dinner, thanks to a new invention.

In their native habitat on the African plains these majestic and beautiful big cats are lean, mean killing machines, capable of speeds of up to 70mph.

However, they’ve been lounging around too much at the wildlife park with TV-style dinners, so staff decided it was time to lick them into shape.
