If you've ever worried about the baby cheetah in your life feeling lonely, consider finding them a puppy of their very own.
According to Zooborns, Pancake the cub's mom, Sage, couldn't produce the milk the tiny cub needed to survive and abandoned the newborn shortly after giving birth at Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon.

The staff is making sure she gets all her nutrients, but brought in backup for Pancake's companionship. Dayo, a Rhodesian ridgeback, came up from San Francisco to come live with Pancake.
There are a few good reasons why Dayo and Pancake are a perfect duo. They were both born on February 28, so they can have joint birthday parties. Rhodesian ridgebacks were originally bred in South Africa, where cheetahs roam free. Male Rhodesian ridgebacks grow up to be roughly the same size as female cheetahs and have a similar life span, meaning this pair can stay friends forever.
If they need any inspiration for future adventures, the Olsen Twins' early work will be on television again soon. Mary-Kate and Ashley are also fraternal twins.
