Cheetah Cub Cam

Echo gave birth to four cubs April 8, 2020! In May, the public voted to name the cubs Amabala, Jabari, Hasani and Erindi. Tune in to the Cheetah Cub Cam streaming live from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, for all the action.

Dec. 21 Update: Echo's cubs spend a lot of time outside exploring their yard, but as temperatures drop, you may see them sleeping inside their den more often. Don't forget to turn the sound on for cheetah purrs!

Cheetah

Built for speed, the cheetah can accelerate from zero to 45 in just 2.5 seconds and reach top speeds of 60 to 70 mph, making it the fastest land mammal! The cheetah's spotted coat helps it camouflage among the dry grasses of the African savanna where it lives.
