Cheetah Run
Cheetahs, by their very nature, will not work for their food if they do not have to. In an effort to exercise them, and as part of their behavioural enrichment programme, the zoo installed a 'Cheetah Run' in 2006. This device ensures the cheetahs work for their food by suspending it on a wire that travels 10 feet (3.0 m) off the ground, at approximately 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph).

“Martin, a woman hasn’t got any political opinions. I run this farm to suit myself. I’ll shoot the daylights out of anybody—British, Indian or American—that thinks he can come around here monkeyin’ in my business. That satisfy ya?”
—Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)
