Aside from the adult Asiatic Cheetahs, there's a lot to learn about the cubs. The female cheetahs carry their young for around three months before giving birth. After the three months have passed, the mother usually gives birth to three cubs at one time. The cubs are very small when they are born, for they weigh only 5 to 10 ounces. As they grow older, their mother teaches them how to hunt and other essentials. The babies stay with their moms for only one and a half to two years, and then they live on their own. Sadly, even under a mother's watch, 90 percent of the Asiatic Cheetah cubs die before they are three months old. This is because lions and hyenas often eat the poor, little cubs. However, if they do make it to adulthood, they only live for about 10 to 12 years.
