Cheetah cubs born prematurely at Cincinnati Zoo

Five cheetah cubs are under the watchful eye of caretakers at the Cincinnati Zoo after they were born prematurely at the zoo’s Cheetah breeding center. Their mother, 5-year old “Willow”, gave birth to them on March 8th through a rare Ceasarian section. The cubs will be in the nursery for 8-12 weeks for round the clock care and “Willow” is expected to make a full recovery.
