Can anyone identify this film from?

I cannot remember the name of this movie I saw in the mid-90's on TV. It was set in Africa and featured these 2 young cheetahs (may have been something else...I think they were wild cats of some sort). I'm not sure exactly what the plot was, but the human characters were scientists, zoologists or something. At the end of the story both of the wild cats die. I remember that this made me sad because it was based on a true story. I can't really remember a whole lot else, but I brought this up to my mom and she thinks the name of the movie had "Wild" in it somewhere, which rings a bell. Any help would be appreciated.
