CHEETAH

Baby cheetahs, called cubs, stay with their mothers until they are about a year and a half old. During that time, they frolic with their siblings and learn the art of hunting and other survival skills by watching their mother. Once they leave their mothers, siblings may stay together for months and brothers may stay together for years.
