Cheetahs / National Zoo

Three weeks after their unconventional and rocky entrance into the world, two 3-week-old Cheetahs were transported 18 May to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in good health, thanks to the hard work and swift actions of animal care staff at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia. The cubs are being hand-raised at the Zoo and will require around-the-clock care until they are ready to make their public debut late this summer — via ZooBorns
