Three Endangered Northern Cheetah Cubs Born At Fota Wildlife Park
Look at their little faces!
The cubs were born to ten year old mother Nimpy and four year old father Sam in June and have only recently started venturing out of their den.
The birth of the two females and one male brings the number of the species born at Fota to 204.
A 2017 expert report on the decline of the cheetah estimates that there are fewer than 2,800 Northern cheetahs left in the wild in the whole of East and North Africa.
Details on how to help name the three cubs can be found on www.fotawildlife.ie/blog
