The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in , ,

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.

    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!

    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.
