The four cheetah cubs in Kristiansand Zoo have now turned six days old and have just begun to open their eyes.

“Everything looks nice, but it is a vulnerable period as we follow them closely,” says Rolf-Arne Ølberg from cheetah house in Kristiansand Zoo.
The four balls of fluff have been weighed and checked. The smallest weighs 640 grams and the heaviest of 700 grams.

All four have just begun to open their eyes, some with only one eye and others with both.
Four zookeepers are going to follow cheetahs closely in the weeks and months ahead.
