Fact Three Month Old Cheetah Cubs Make Their Debut At Washington's Smithsonian Zoo

Three-month old cheetah cubs make their public debut at the Smithsonian National Zoo on July 24, 2012 in Washington, DC. Two cubs have been hand raised after a risky cesarean section was performed in April that saved the cubs' and mother's lives, but left them in intensive care for days following the procedure. The zoo plans to name the cubs after the fastest American male and female athletes in the 100-meter dash of this summer's London Olympics. (Photo by T.J. Kirkpatrick)
