@metrorichmondzoo: 🎉 We’re sharing never-before-seen footage of Kumbali and Kago to celebrate their 10th birthday! 📹 🐆 🐶 Today’s video takes us back to July 2015 when Kumbali and Kago met each other for the very first time! Kumbali was slightly unsure and gave some cautious swats, while Kago (still unnamed at the time and called “Puppy”) responded with affectionate licks. 💙 🫧 Classic cat-and-dog energy! Their story: Kumbali, a cheetah cub runt, was hand-raised to ensure his survival and paired with Kago, a rescued lab mix dog - and they’ve been best friends since. As youngsters, they lived in zoo staff’s home on-site for round-the-clock care. 🐾 #metrorichmondzoo #rva #kumbaliandkago #animals #cuteanimals #babyanimals #cute #cheetahanddog
