The cubs were born in May and are part of a breeding programme for the endangered north-eastern cheetah sub-species.

  • Seven cheetah cubs debuted at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire, marking the first time visitors can see the new arrivals exploring their home.
  • The litters born to Amira and Zara spent their initial weeks in private paddocks away from public view until now.
  • These births represent the first at Whipsnade in 15 years and support a breeding program for the endangered north-eastern cheetah sub-species.
