May is a very exciting month here at Busch Gardens! The weather is great and the entire park is gearing up for the fun of Summer Nights.

April marks the one-year anniversary of Busch Gardens’ most famous pair.

Kasi and Mtani were introduced to each other last year and have been together ever since.

Kasi’s First Birthday Party

Celebrate the first birthday of Busch Garden’s famous cheetah with the team of keepers that have raised him for the past year.

This is part 2 of "A Day in the Life of Kasi" the Baby Cheetah...

The afternoon for Kasi and Mtani is spent doing all kinds of fun things. The two of them make at least two appearances each day at Cheetah Run. The bigger cheetahs go inside for a break and the entire exhibit is given over to the unlikely pair. There is always lots of chasing and playing. Sometimes even an accidental plunge into the waterfall! Kasi enjoys playing with a wide array of different items.
