Smithsonian National Zoo Announces the Birth of 5 Adorable Cheetah Cubs

‎10-13-2021 06:19 PM

According to a news release from the zoo, five-year-old Rosalie gave birth to the quintuplets Tuesday morning at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) in Front Royal, Virginia. The cubs are said to be "strong, active, vocal, and eating well."

 

Rosalie, a first-time mom, and her cubs can be viewed via the Cheetah Cub Cam (won't let me post link here) on the National Zoo's website. Staff is also monitoring the cats' behaviors with webcam footage and plan to conduct a health check when the mother is comfortable leaving her young "for an extended period of time," per the release.

I think Cheetahs have the most beautiful face markings.
