Male and female cheetahs do not stay together after mating. After a gestation period of 90 to 98 days, the cubs are born. Though the average litter consists of 3 to 5 cubs, as many as 9 are possible. Cubs are born helpless with their eyes closed like domestic cats. But unlike other wild cats, cheetahs are born with their spots, the same markings that they will have as adults. Mothers will move their cubs to a different den every 5 to 6 days so they do not become easy prey to other carnivores. Cubs stay with their mothers for about a year and a half, as they must learn to hunt and to avoid potentially dangerous animals. The mother then leaves the litter, and the cubs stay together for another six months in a sibling group. Females then leave and establish their own home ranges, while males remain with each other, often for the rest of their lives.
