The new cub was born at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens to a mother who wasn’t able to care for him. It was on the SSP and Jacksonville Zoo’s advice that the new baby was brought to Busch Gardens. What could be cuter on Saint Patrick’s Day than this adorable baby cheetah from Busch Gardens? Busch Gardens’ animal care team has something new keeping them up at night – a four-week-old baby cheetah that requires regular feedings and 24-hour care.

I was in Jacksonville, Florida for a conference on Living Shorelines, a restoration technique for coastal areas throughout the Southeast. For day 2 of the conference, we headed out to the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve to look at some in-progress projects. Luckily for me, there was time afterwards for a little birding. After leaving the group, I pulled into a boat launch with a great view of a marshy, mud flat area near the beach.
