Video: Cheetah cub, puppy play in snow at Richmond Zoo

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Kumbali and Kago, now 8-months-old, got to play in the snow for the first time.

Though the zoo is closed, zoo officials tell WRIC-TV that one of the zookeepers let the best friends run and explore in a large enclosed field – covered with seven inches of the white stuff.

Their reaction is priceless.

You might remember the pair when they formed an unlikely friendship when zoo keepers brought them together when Kumbali was in need of a companion.

Kago and Kumbali were introduced to each other and after a thorough inspection and some uncertainty, the two quickly became pals. Initially, the pair were raised together in a zookeeper’s home to provide close monitoring and care. As Kumbali and Kago grew older, they were moved to an outdoor enclosure.
