Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
Here are few I got today.
Got this one before I left for work today.
Another color pic from before work.
Got this one on lunch break after the cam came back up, just the cubs.
This is when Salome returned. Bath time, you could hear her cleaning the cubs.
This last one was taken just now, they are wiggling around and eating again.
I love your other pics too. I'm really looking forward to when they first start to explore a little! This is going to be a fun cam to watch!

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
Great pictures there Ronnie and Lai I have just had a look in and the cubs are at the back and they are fairly active, wriggling around each other and lifting up their heads, they are really cute to watch.

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
Thats a lovely shot Lai. Just had a peek in and they are still all cuddled up with mum.
Looked like mum was saying hello.

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
It surely will Lai, this is the time frame for the cubs progress.
At the moment they are suckling.

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
Will there be a cam outside as well ? It will be great to watch if there is.
So much for them to learn, and so much for us to learn from them.

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
I would hope there would be a cam outside otherwise itseems strange to follow them now and then nothing, so surely there has got to be one, fingers crossed anyway.

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
I think you are probably right Littlewid. I'll have a look at the Africam site tomorrow and see what it says.

Re: A Cheetah Cubs Tail
Here you go Guys.
The house is designed to give her the sense of security she needs, and that of course is where we have placed our first camera to try and capture the birth and the beginning of our cub's story.
As always in nature there is a chance the Salome will decide to give birth outside instead of inside the Maternity House. So we will just have to wait and see how the story unfolds. If she does give birth inside the house the cubs will remain in the structure for about a month, before venturing outside for the first time. We hope to have additional cameras in place by then to capture the cub's first adventure into the great outdoors.
Anything else ?

WS - I knew we could rely on you to find the info. That's lovely to know that we'll be able to follow them as they get older.
