Cheetah Rafiki

Born November 2004, South Africa

Died April 2015, Toronto Zoo

A large impressive male with several offspring, he had an inoperable growth.

RIP Rafiki. He was one of the only cheetahs that I actually knew the name of and will be missed.

Sad to see him pass but at least he left us with 12 offspring and at least 11 grand cubs.
