Female sloths give birth to one baby a year after a gestation period of six months. The baby sticks with the mother for about six months, grasping its momâs belly as she moves through the trees. This is an important bonding period that helps the offspring learn and develop.
Baby cheetahs, called cubs, are very small when they are born, weighing 5 to10 ounces (150 to 300 grams), according to the San Diego Zoo. As the cubs grow, the mother teaches them how to hunt and other essentials. Cubs will stay with their mothers for one and a half to two years. Even under a mother's watch, 90 percent of cubs still die before they are three months old, according to the Smithsonian. Lions and hyenas often eat the young cheetahs. If they do make it to adulthood, the cats only live for around 10 to 12 years.
