Enrichment for captive cheetahs is a bit different than for other captive wild African cats. Cheetahs don't necessarily enjoy the stationary toys and won't play with them. But you give a box, watermelon or hay stuffed skin to a leopard, tiger or lion, they will play with it (for awhile); especially they are scented. But cheetahs are designed to run and the best enrichment for them are games that encouraging them to run... like the zip lines that give them exercise or a friendly game of soccer with a volunteer... me.

I take on Juno, Neo, and hunter in a game of soccer 1on3. Not really fair but I couldn't keep the ball in possession more than a few seconds anyway. Eden and Kenji show up later in the video and show their skills.

Thanks for watching!
