Our cheetah cubs at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute are over a year old! Young cheetahs separate from their mothers around 18 months old, but will form a sibling group until they are a little older. Females are solitary as adults, and adult males live in groups called coalitions. #WeSaveSpecies | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
