Peek inside a cheetah den with five newborn cubs and their mom

At the Smithsonian Conservation Institute in Virginia, a cheetah named Zura gave birth to five cubs on October 5. A live webcam now lets you watch the family around the clock, capturing the mother caring for her tiny newborns. You can even listen to their soft chirps and purrs as they vocalize with each other. It is a rare, intimate look at early cheetah development that most people would never see otherwise.

Would you tune into a live animal cam just to hear the sounds they make?
