The Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo issued the following press release:
Today, Smithsonian's National Zoo Director John Berry and Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) opened the new Cheetah Science Facility at the Zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Va. It is the first new research facility to be constructed on the property in 22 years and is made possible by a $1 million gift from Bill McClure, a longtime friend of the National Zoo. This 9-acre Cheetah Science Facility will be the center of the Zoo's international cheetah research program in which scientists study cheetah biology to ensure good health, reproduction and self-sustaining populations in zoos and in the wild.
