Cheetah Update: Saturn

From your last update on Saturn, we’d like to tell you a bit more about him and what he has been doing over the past six-month period.

As you know, Saturn was caught with his brother, Orion, and their sister, Luna, in late 2004. When he arrived at CCF we realised that he had sustained serious injuries – his 4th neck vertebrae and a front foot were both broken. Luckily, Saturn is a fighter and managed to regain his health and is now looking very good. He is just as feisty as his brother, and you would never even be able to tell of the extent of his injuries from the past.

Saturn and Orion are inseparable. They share an enclosure with Athos, Porthos and D'Artagnan and if the musketeers leave any food in their bowls, you can be sure that Saturn and Orion will get it. They sometimes have to run a gauntlet to get their food as it is given to them separately to prevent confrontation at mealtimes. They refuse to be intimidated by the other three.
