Five Sisters Zoo have shared the news that they have had to amputate the leg of one of their female cheetahs.
Ashanti, who was rehoused at the West Calder Five Sisters Zoo in January 2022, had suffered a complex bone break in her ankle on the hind right leg.
Although the easy option would have been for the Zoo to refuse to take her in, they decided that they simply had to do all they could to ensure she had the best chance in life possible.
