Educational Science Zoo & Animals

What’s Happening?

12/4/2025

Celebrate International Cheetah Day at the Little Rock Zoo!

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on Earth, reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour in short bursts. These incredible cats are known for their sleek bodies and unique adaptations that help them chase down prey in the wild. Cheetahs play a vital role in their ecosystems as predators that keep prey species on the move, which helps prevent overgrazing. However, cheetahs face numerous threats, including habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and a limited genetic pool. Visit the Zoo to learn how we can all contribute to their conservation!

Join us on December 4th for International Cheetah Day to celebrate these incredible athletes of the animal kingdom and learn about the conservation efforts aimed at saving them from extinction.

Did you know that cheetahs’ claws don’t retract like those of other cats, providing extra grip for speed? Or that their large nasal passages help them breathe more efficiently while running at full speed? Come discover these fascinating facts and more through special keeper talks, interactive activities, and the chance to see our cheetahs up close.

All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss the chance to celebrate the fastest cats in the world and learn how we can all contribute to their conservation!
