Zoo Cheetahs Getting Trained at Local Horse Racetrack

Description:Zoo Cheetahs are being trained at a local horse racetrack. Cheetahs at the Houston Zoo in Texas are getting a workout at the local horse racetrack. These Cheetahs are kept relatively confined at the zoo, and need to get a chance to run at top speed to process certain metabolic compounds. Although the zoo doesn’t have enough room for them to reach top speed, the horse track at Sam Houston Race Park is the perfect environment for the 5 year old cheetahs to let out all that pent up energy.
