India has welcomed the birth of four cheetah cubs - more than 70 years after the animals were declared officially extinct there.
India's environment minister announced the good news, calling it a "momentous event".
The country has been trying to reintroduce the big cats for decades, and last year brought eight cheetahs over from Namibia as part of the plan.
Another 12 cheetahs were brought to India from South Africa last month.
The four cubs were born in Kuno National Park wildlife sanctuary to one of the females that came from Namibia last September.
Awwww, they're cute ! And of course, this is a momentous milestone in their decades-long project to restore big cats to their former territory.
I hope these cheetahs live long and healthy lives - and the success of this project continues !
