Beautiful Mom and her babies 💕💕🙏

A blanket or soft bottom in the box would be appreciated by the whole family. Mom’s face says it all. Lovely family! ❤️They are so beautiful.

Bingwa the cheetah, a 4-year-old St. Louis Zoo resident has just given birth to a record-breaking 8-cub litter.
This is the first time a cheetah has given birth to 8 cubs at a zoo. The typical litter size is 3 to 4 cubs.

Bingwa has become an ideal mom for her 3 boys and 5 girls. She has quickly become adept at caring for her very large litter of cubs — grooming, nursing and caring for them attentively.
They are so cute. We wish they would put something soft for them to lie on but they are probably trying to make this as realistic as possible.

In the wild, the mom will hide them in different den sites for the first several weeks of life. Their biggest thre.at are lions, leopards & hyenas in the wild so hopefully these babies stay healthy.

Glad her and her babies are in a safe place. I don’t believe she would be able to raise all of her cubs in the wild.
Should have something to lie on. We’re not very happy seeing such beautiful animals like that. ❤️
