To sum it up the beginning of a cubs life is very interesting. Cubs moms help a lot. The cubs only drink their mother’s milk and later they will start eating whatever their mother brings back. The mother cheetah hides and moves her cubs carefully and frequently. The cubs start follow their mother hiding in the tall grass after a few weeks. At 18 months the cubs hunt and survive on their own. Nicolson the cubs mom help out. Cubs fur helps out a lot. Instead of a sleek spotted coat cubs have grayish long coats that sort of look like a mohawk. The mohawk makes them look like a badger one of the most fiercest animals. When the cubs are between 2 and 3 months their fur starts to fall out. As the cubs grow older their adult fur grows in. in conclusion cubs fur is interesting but it helps out a lot. Now that you read this article you know a lot about cheetahs and if you know a little or a lot about other cats then hopefully you can tell the difference between then. So now could make a career out of it or maybe not but overall you will know a lot about cheetahs. SOURCES Squire, Ann.
