Saint Louis Zoo cheetah quintuplets make public debut.

St. Louis Zoo's cheetah cubs are getting acclimated to their public habitats, making brief appearances this week. Someone we know was there. Yeah. The cheetah cubs and their mama can be seen here and there at the River's Edge exhibit now. Over the next several weeks that should continue. One of the first to take them in is Fox 2's Patrick Clark. If you're wanting to get a glimpse of those cheetah cubs here at the St. Louis Zoo, you have to be quick like a cat and get up pretty early. Well, the early bird gets the worm and the cheetah picture. So basically, typically our River's Edge trail opens about 9 o'clock. We will try to have the family out there first thing in the morning. To spot these big cats at the St. Louis Zoo, you need to get there right when they open at 9 a.m. Tuesday, we saw tails flipping in the midday sun as the four-month-old quintuplet cheetah cubs, Asha, Bozzie, Chirpa, Milani and Wicket are starting to make public appearances at the zoo. Named after the Ewoks of Endor, which kind of ties into their parents' names. So Vader, of course, is dad and Korra is mom, which is a name that is in the Star Wars franchise for those who know it a little more in depth than I do. The five cubs were born May 5th to mom Korra and dad Vader and all have Star Wars-themed names. You don't need a land speeder to see the fastest land animal on Earth. Mom Korra and her quintuplet cheetah cubs helping spread the word of these endangered animals. Cheetahs are facing a lot of pressure in the wild and they've actually become extinct in about 13 countries in the past 50 years. There's down to about 7,000 cheetahs in the wild. They're facing a lot of pressure due to the exotic pet trade. So a lot of people think, unfortunately, cheetahs would make good pets and they're taking animals from the wild, particularly young cubs. The best chances to catch the five cubs, three male and two female, are weekdays between 9 and 10 a.m. We have to find that spot where they've got all their zoomies out and they've got out a lot of energy, but we've got to get them back in the back before they go down for nap time. And so anyone who's had toddlers knows, like, once they're down for nap time, it's hard to get them to budge for a little while. At the St. Louis Zoo at Forest Park, Patrick Clark, Fox 2 News. Can you imagine a cheetah cub having zoomies? I just think I'm the same.
