PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon Zoo's 15-year-old cheetah, Strike, died Thursday. He was the second-oldest male cheetah living in an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)-accredited zoo. The Oregon Zoo said Strike was humanely euthanized following a decline due to his age, considered geriatric for his species. The median life expectancy for cheetahs in zoos is just over 12 years; in the wild, male cheetahs typically live up to 8 years old.
