Goodbye Davis The Last Male Cheetah | Baltimore News

The Maryland Zoo mourns the loss of Davis, their beloved 11-year-old male cheetah, who passed away from complications of chronic stomach issues. Once a solo star after his brother Bud’s death, Davis charmed visitors with his calm presence. His passing underscores the dire plight of cheetahs in the wild—fewer than 12,500 remain, threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.

Davis’ legacy is a poignant reminder of how fragile these majestic creatures—and our efforts to protect them—are.
