Four northern cheetah cubs have been born at Fota Wildlife Park in Co Cork.

The cubs have gone on display and people have been asked to suggest names for the six-week-old litter.

The two males and two females were born to mother Nimpy and father Claude, who is a first time dad.

The cubs remain in the den where they were born, but they are starting to become active and can be viewed in the camera screen at their habitat.

Northern cubs are considered vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.
