I know we have a section on cats and dogs but this is a bit special so hence the post.
Most of the regulars know of my love of Big Cats, particularly cheetahs.
Yesterday @Anonymous sent me a picture on FB. It was so beautiful, though if honest, I thought it was photoshopped.
(Cheetahs rarely give birth to more than 3-4 cubs in the wild, and always have problem rearing that number.)
I have never in my life seen a cheetah with 6 cubs.
So with the help of @viridis (ie 'is this photoshopped?') and Google, I realise it isn't photoshopped at all!
In January 2017, this cheetah gave birth to her SECOND litter of 6 cubs at Burgers Zoo in the Netherlands.
Anyway, as it's Friday and it brightened up my day, I just thought I would share it here.

Glad you like the pic @Cleoriff
I support well run zoo's with the conservation of endagered species in mind
It saddens me greatly to know what unscrupulous people do to Big Cats and I despise trophy hunters of any / all sorts of wildlife
Thank you for the vid @Mi-Amigo ... the shot of the cheetah running is spectacular
