Trio of rare lion cubs born at Whipsnade (c) Whipsnade Zoo

A trio of rare Northern African lion cubs have been born at Whipsnade Zoo, marking a huge conservation success for the vulnerable sub-species. Born to three-year-old lioness Winta, and three-year-old dad Malik, the litter of three arrived on 25th November 2024. Footage captured by the conservation zoo's 'cub cam' CCTV shows attentive mum Winta being tender with her tiny newborns, carefully cleaning and nuzzling them. Keepers were happy to see the three cubs quickly get the hang of suckling, and the tiny trio have spent their first few weeks mostly eating and snoozing.
