The six-week-old cub has been named after Irish rugby star Ronan O’Gara, after a call for suggestions from the Irish public.

ROG the cheetah is said to be thriving after being hand reared by Head Warden Willie Duffy. His mother’s milk dried up after just a few days, a common problem when only one cub is born. ROG will be living in Fota’s incubation house for the winter.
