What is the reproductive process of a cheetah?

Females have multiple estrous cycles per year. Each cycle lasts for about 12 days, with the female being fertile for one to three of these days. They can breed year round, but breeding is most common between March and June. The gestation period is 90-95 days, producing (usually) 2 to 5 young. The young are gray with a mane of hair down their backs that will gradually disappear after a few months. At first, the young hunt alone, and many will be killed by predators while doing so. After about six weeks, the surviving cubs follow their mother. They are weaned at about four to five months old. They become sexually mature at around one and a half years old, and leave their mother when they are between 13 and 20 months old.
