Not one, but seven cheetah cubs! 

We are delighted to welcome the arrival of seven spotty cheetah cubs, here at Whipsnade Zoo for the first time in 15 years, marking a huge boost to the international conservation breeding programme for their endangered sub species; the northern cheetah

First-time mum Amira gave birth to four cubs on 18 May, followed by her sibling Zara who delivered a litter of three just five days later. The seven new additions are very special, having been born in the same year that ZSL turns 200 years old, and during Whipsnade Zoo's 95th birthday.

Watch our footage of the adorable cubs and look out for their first steps outdoors soon.

Our cheetah cubs and elephant calf, like many of the animals at Whipsnade Zoo, are part of conservation breeding programmes. As a science-driven wildlife conservation charity, we also work globally to secure the future of their species.
