Our @NationalZoo cheetah cubs had a sit in the snow yesterday with mom Amabala.
Even though they have thick, fuzzy coats, cheetahs aren't built for the ice and snow. That's why the cheetahs at our Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, have the choice to spend time outside in the snow and always have access to heated dens to warm up.
The cheetah cam is a great way to check on the cubs from your own cozy den: s.si.edu/3ZyPJz0
