The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute has announced the birth of five cheetah cubs at their Front Royal, Virginia campus. The cubs were born to mother Echo and are described as "strong, active and vocal." The institute has now seen its 81st cheetah birth. To witness these adorable cubs' playful interactions with their mother and each other, you can tune into the zoo's "cheetah cub cam."
