Cheetah's mate and reproduce all year round. They don't have any mating season as such. After a gestation period of around 90 to 98 days, a female give birth to a litter of upto 9 cubs. But, the average litter size is between 3 to 5 cubs. The cubs weigh an average of 150 to 300 grams at birth and stay with the mother for approximately 2 years. During this period, the mother protects her cubs and feeds them.

Though a female cheetah gives birth to 3 or 4 cubs per litter only one or two survive to be grown ups. Mortality of cheetah cubs is high due to lions and hyenas that kill cheetah cubs to cut out combinations. Even vultures are known to carry off young ones. So, nearly 70% or more cheetah cubs die during the first year of their life itself.
