Cheetah Cubs

http://1funny.com/cheetah-cubs/
Before giving birth to their cubs, cheetahs find a nest in a super quit place, hidden by tall grass or bunched up rocks.  The cheetah usually has 2 to 8 cubs per litter, but cubs are often the target of other animals and most of them don't live past the first year. :(  The little cubs completely depend on their mother to protect them and get them food.  Eventually the cubs learn how to hunt by watching their mother hunt all the time.

DID YOU KNOW...
The tiny little cubs can weigh as small as 8 ounces.  That's really small. :)
