I was delighted to see the 4 new extremely cute Cheetah cubs on my volunteer day at Chester Zoo. They're looking really healthy, and are great news for Cheetah conservation. :D:D:D
Lets just hope that other zoos etc. can do the same and help this incredible animal

I went over several times today and they were active and perfectly visible at all times (10am, 12:30pm, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 6pm [about]).

They were right by the window of the yurt today and, from what I gather, have been in roughly the same place every day they've been out.
 
Yes, they were very visible all day yesterday (Saturday 30th). If you want to photograph them, take a rag or some paper tissues to clean the glass as it gets very mucky.
Don't forget the bushdog puppies which are just as attractive, but much harder to see as they still spend most of their time in the den. A noon visit lets you watch the adults being fed, and then the pups come out to demand their share (I think they are being weaned). I am still processing my photos from Saturday, but I hope to post more here soon.

We spent some time yesterday (31st) in the Yurt between about 5pm & 6pm. Proximity to closing time meant that it was relatively quiet and so a good time to get a few pics.

We've not spotted the Bush Dog pups yet, will have to make sure we do that soon.
