Cheetah Cubs at the National Zoo in Washington, DC

Here's a few pics of the cubs I took last Wednesday. The cubs went on public display today. The cubs, a boy and a girl, are 13 weeks old. They will be named after the fastest US men's and women's Olympic competitors in the 100m sprint event.

Here is a short video of the cubs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ken_fro...in/photostream

The flash and camera clicking is coming from the guy next to me with a 600mm lens.

Turn the sound down if you don't want to listen to a screaming unhappy child.

Thanks for the pics that's awesome that they're going to name them after the fastest runners.
