Top 10 Animal Moms (6): Cheetah

Hi my-blogmedia readers, how are you. Miss your Mom, haha?. Continuing the previous posts, here is animal that have a good mom behaviour on number 6. Enjoy.

6. Cheetah

Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to being a cheetah mom. At any given time, females usually have four to six cubs to care for, but these kids aren't born with survival instincts. It's up to mom to teach them how to hunt prey and avoid other predators, and this training can take nearly two years to sink in and stick. Once the cubs learn to fend for themselves, the mom moves on to start a new family, while her offspring left behind form a sibling or "sib" group. The boys will stay together for life, but the females will leave the group six months or so later, as they tend to be solitary and avoid each other. Ladies, ladies, ladies -- can't we just all get along?
