Five new Northern cheetah cubs have been born in Fota to parents Grainne and Archie, the wildlife park confirmed today.

The three females and two males were born on August 10 and like to spend their days playing with their mother in their leafy home on Cheetah Hill. Grainne, who gave birth to the cubs, is four years old and was born in Fota Wildlife Park. While she previously gave birth to a litter of three cubs on Saint Patrick’s Day last year, 12-year-old Archie is a first-time father.
