Knowsley Safari Park has welcomed the birth of a litter of two female African Lions. This news is particuarly good considering the large amount of male cubs born previously. The birth of females mean that they can stay in the pride and keep it stable, and considering the age of their male Kenya, who is now getting on a bit, a new generation of possible breeding females is an incredibly good thing.
The pictures here below do not belong to me and
come from the link here.
The two cubs named after Olympic Atheletes Jessica Ennis and Victoria Pendleton have been caught once again on television showing off their sporty skills in this link. This is just a very normal act of play between any kind of big cat young, so it would not have been hard to get video of!
So overall very good news for Knowsley giving them a future generation of breeding females, giving them a prepared start for when Kenya dies and a new male has to be brought in.
Hope you all enjoy the links and photos,
James
