🐆 If you don't spot our Cheetah Girls on the Cheetah Cub Cam, don't worry. They're probably outside having fun!
For cheetah cubs, play time is an important way to develop social and physical skills. Amabala's cubs are spending lots of time outside romping, wrestling and climbing, all of which are important skills they would need in the wild.
They still tend to cuddle up inside the dens during wet or especially cold weather, so check out the forecast for Front Royal, Virginia the next time you want to watch! ☂️ Tune in at https://s.si.edu/4sq1QMc
Video description: a compilation of scenes showing adult cheetah Amabala and her 2-month-old cubs playing and resting in their outdoor yard. In several shots, the cubs are running, jumping on and over one another, and wrestling. Their mother rests in the grass calmly beside them, and the cubs occasionally try to play with her, too.
