A pair of cheetah cubs have been born from in vitro fertilization to a surrogate cheetah mother for the first time, and experts are hailing it a"huge scientific breakthrough."
The cubs were born February 19 at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio to their surrogate mother Izzy, a 3-year-old cheetah, according to Smithsonian's National Zoo. Their biological mother is 6 1/2-year-old Kibibi. Scientists at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the Columbus Zoo had collected semen from a male cheetah living at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas and froze it, the National Zoo said. They then harvested eggs from Kibibi in November and fertilized them with the sperm.
