Smithsonian cheetah cubs come out to play

Has it really been seven weeks since we last saw these cubs in Animal Tracks? Should they be in the running for cutest thing ever?
Two cheetah cubs peek through wild flowers at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va., Wednesday, Aug. 31. The five cubs in the litter are 13-weeks-old. When they mature the cubs will become part of a national breeding program for the endangered species.
