Two adorable baby cheetahs are being welcomed at Tampa's Busch Gardens!
The cubs, weighing about 12 pounds each, were born on Nov. 22 and were being treated by Busch Garden's animal care team.
The three-month old cheetahs were named Tendai and Thaboo. Tendai means thankful and Thabo signifies joy.
In a YouTube video posted by Busch Gardens, the cubs are seen rolling around and play fighting with each other.
Once they are old enough, the cubs will be put on public display as part of the Cheetah Run, Busch Gardens said.
These births are part of Busch Gardens’ participation in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan.

When the cubs are mature, they may become an important part in the park's cheetah breeding program to help boost the cheetah population.
