Just one month old, six little North African Cheetah cubs made their debut yesterday at the ZSL's Whipsnade Zoo. This is the first time that a UK zoo has welcomed cubs of this rare subspecies. There are only believed to be about 250 North African Cheetahs left in the wild and these cubs were planned as part of the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme (EEP). Do not miss the wonderful video at the bottom.

I can’t think of a better way to start the day than watching this wonderful video. What beautiful animals – I had to watch the video twice!

Wonderful family shots! Pretty music, too.

Christie, you mean “nonchalant.” Nonplussed = confused.

I assume the program is called “EEP” because that’s the noise you’ll make when you see them. Anyway, I did. Eep!

Dont Come near, yes we are cubs but cruel too!

They. Are. Beautiful. And their mother is just so tolerant. She looks at them with so much adoration…even though I’m sure they’re tormenting her all the time.
