According to guidelines set by the Delaware County General Health District, she will be placed in a 30-day quarantine to ensure that she does not show signs of illness, WBNS reported. Zoo officials said this is Isabelle’s first incident. “That was the first time in the world that science had been successful.” Izzy was the recipient of that transfer and 83 days later gave birth to two beautiful perfect cubs, Dave and Adrienne,” Rapp said. “Izzy is probably one of the most famous cheetahs in the world because a lot of people will know last year we did intro fertilization transfer. Last year, Isabelle gave birth to two cubs through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, the television station reported. “They are a wild animal and we treat them as that.” “You can train a wild animal, but it is impossible to tame them and it just can’t be done, instinct is so powerful,” Suzi Rapp, vice president of animal programs at the zoo, told WBNS.
The zoo said the keeper was taken to the hospital “for further evaluation out of precaution” and was later released, the television station reported. The team contacted first responders with the Liberty Township Fire Department, WSYX reported. We believe that, due to normal animal behavior, the scent of these other animals on the keeper triggered a natural instinct in Isabelle, who reacted.” “When the keeper approached them, Isabelle crouched down and lunged toward the Heart of Africa keeper, who works around giraffes and other hoofstock. The team invited the keeper to approach closer,” zoo officials said in a statement. “At this time, Isabelle’s care team had her sit and she was calm and purring.
