Newborn Cheetah Cubs Add to Conservation Efforts at National Zoo
Two new cheetah cubs were welcomed to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Virginia, on Oct. 3, showing signs of health in the expanding family of big cats.
The cubs are already special, according to carnivore keepers. Amani, the 4-year-old mother, and 7-year-old father Asante, are both first-time parents, making the two cubs genetically valuable. “Being able to watch our cheetah family grow, play and explore their surroundings is incredibly special,” said Adrienne Crosier, cheetah biologist.
The cubs are strong, active and vocal, and appear to be nursing well. Animal care staff can’t determine the sexes of the cubs yet, as they are giving Amani time to bond with her new litter without interference.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
