WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Washington's National Zoo proudly showed off its new, rare litter of endangered cheetah cubs on Friday, only the second in the zoo's 116-year history.
The 10-week-old cubs -- three females and two males -- bounded playfully around their 4-year-old mother, Zazi, and frolicked in grass of an outdoor enclosure as a bank of news cameras captured the public debut.
The young felines weigh only 9 pounds (4 kg), about the size of a house cat, and are still being nursed by their mother although they have begun to eat some meat. mmmm...meat!
