Watch: Seven cheetah cubs born at Whipsnade Zoo
A zoo where cheetah cubs have not been born for 15 years is celebrating the arrival of seven.
Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire said first-time mum Amira had given birth to four cubs on 18 May. Amira's sister, Zara, had a litter of three just five days later.
Keepers at the conservation zoo will confirm the sexes of the cubs, who do not have names yet, at the new arrivals' first health check, at eight weeks old.
The zoo said the birth of the cubs had been a "huge boost" for the conservation of northern cheetahs, an endangered subspecies.
