Cincinnati Zoo Cheetah Adds Cub from Another Mother to Her Litter. Cross fostering gives singleton cub better chance of survival. A cheetah that gave birth to two cubs earlier this month at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s off-site breeding facility has adopted another cub that arrived from Oregon on Monday night.  A singleton cub does not provide enough stimulation to produce lactation, so the decision was made to add the Oregon cub to Etosha’s litter. The foster cub, a male, arrived in Cincinnati on Monday night and was placed in an incubator overnight to stabilize before being placed in the nest box with the other cubs on Tuesday.  Since then, keepers report seeing great maternal behaviors from Etosha.
