Unusual animals couples usually take the internet by storm, but the Metro Richmond Zoo in Virginia has made a huge success of their own odd couple, Kumbali the cheetah and Kago the dog.
umbali and Kago were initally introduced in 2015 after the little cheetah was rejected by his family. Born right at the zoo, he had lost weight and was hand reared by the keepers, who fed him with a bottle and kept him warm in an incubator. As he became older, he started to show signs of anxiety and was given a companion: Kago.
A Labrador-mix, whose name is Kago, was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Alabama when he was 10 weeks old and, after a short stint in quarantine, allowed to meet his brand new friend in the home of one of the keepers. The two of them clicked immediately and have been inseparable ever since.
