Four Northern Cheetah cubs born at Cork's Fota Wildlife Park two months ago are said to be "thriving".
The sub-species is considered endangered by the International Union of Conservation of Nature.
They bring to 240 the number of cheetah cubs born at the wildlife park since it first opened in 1983.
The four cubs were born on 26 February to mother Gráinne, and father Sam.
Gráinne is six-years-old and was born in Fota Wildlife Park, while the cubs' father Sam was born in the Wadi Al Safa Wildlife Centre in Dubai before coming to Fota in 2017.
Head Ranger Julien Fonteneau said the cubs are "thriving".
"It is lovely to see them develop and to watch them explore their leafy habitat on Cheetah Hill.
"The cheetahs enjoy being outside and have just started to join their mum during feeding where they love to pull and lick the food," he said.
Fota Wildlife Park, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, is appealing to the public to help them name their newest arrivals.
