King Tut

King Tut the Cheetah

Blink and you may miss him. King Tut, our resident cheetah, was adopted from one of our conservation partners and now wows our crowds each year with his natural ability of speed like only the fastest land mammal can at up to 60 mph. After the chase, however, King Tut needs about half an hour to catch his breath and relax before lunch. Unfortunately, cheetahs are moving at a rapid pace toward extinction due to their loss of habitat and their prey population throughout Asia and Africa. Get the rare chance to meet King Tut during the Wild Encounters Tour.
