   "The Columbus Zoo & Aquarium is offering online videos featuring its 2 6 week old cheetah cubs, the first to be born via in vitro fertilization.

   The cubs were born to a surrogate mother... They're named Dave & Adrienne.
                           
   According to cleveland.com, the only other reported IVF success in large cats was 30 years ago, which resulted in 3 lion cubs.

   'These 2 cubs may be tiny but they represent a huge accomplishment,' said Dr. Randy Judge, the zoo's vice-president of animal health.   
                                                   
   The first clip, available on the zoo's Facebook page, vice-president of animal programming Suzi Rapp introduces meat into the cub's diet. The zoo is the location for the TV series Secrets of the Zoo, airing on National Geographic & Nat Geo Wild."
